.keeneTV on how few shows illustrate the struggle to stay afloat quite like OWN's lyrical DavidMakesMan
screenwriter Tarell Alvin McCraney, changed perspectives in this week’s affecting “Gloria.” Instead of continuing to show us the trials and tribulations of its title character , as he tries to hold on to his academic ambitions despite the pushy drug culture of his neighborhood, we focused on how his mother Gloria struggles between her own ambitions and a system designed to keep her down.
There was a lot thrown in to this one moment, possibly too much, but we only have this one episode to establish the kind of work environment that Gloria is in. It’s one where she worries she won’t catch the bus home in time to be there when her youngest son returns from school, and struggles to make ends meet when customers don’t bother to leave tips.
One of the things that makes “Gloria” so profound is showing why you can’t judge Gloria and her desire to want to make that pain go away. She dreams of going with Ms. Elijah to a drag ball and performing, but knows she should stay home with her boys and count every penny for the bills. The weight of the episode, though, comes in the understanding that this is not just one bad day, this is a cycle of being demoralized at almost every turn and just getting through.
