The third episode of the second season of TBS’s The Detour, which aired February 28, contained bizarre racial tensions and was just downright disgusting.
When main character Nate (Jason Jones) notes the abnormality of a friend, Judith, being 12 months pregnant, she spits back at him, “Straight, white, male doctors. What do they know?” Nate responds, “Same thing as gay, black, women doctors.” While this seems like a weird claim to disagree with, the African-American couple in the group has a disgusted look on their face. Considering Nate is shown as the belligerent loudmouth of the gang, I wonder what point the writers are trying to make.
Nate- Trimesters, weeks, you know.
Judith- Straight, white, male doctors. What do they know?
Nate- Same thing as gay, black, women doctors.
Later, when Nate touches Judith’s stomach, apparently causing her water to break, she screams at him, “You did, with your anger! My body could not withstand your straight, white male energy, and now my baby will be born premature!”
Overall, this show is revolting. The young kids talk about their parents having sex throughout the episode and even walk in on them doing it. Nate falls into a tub of Judith’s amniotic fluids. And for God knows what reason, there is a camera angle from inside of Judith’s vagina looking out.
This shows the kind of depravity that liberal TV networks have been shoving down our throats. A show oriented around a family of young children filled with cursing, soft-core porn, and disgusting images that even adults don’t want to see could not have been on the air ten years ago.
Hopefully, this “detour” will soon come to an end.
