Adabesi ruins it for me.


I'm pretty sure he's the most popular character...but by Season 2 he is making the show unwatchable to me. I've been meaning to binge watch for years...but he ruins that.

Welcome to the internet, everyone knows everything, and no one likes anything

I can't see Adebisi was the most popular character. I think he would have been beat out by Beecher, McManus, even Alverez. Keep watching.

Stay with it; you'll like it

I could've done w/o the Augustus monologues.

I hated that pompous little toad.

reply

Hahaha. I agree with you there. Worst character on the show.

Keep watching.

He's not that bad. I enjoyed in the beginning but once he started turning into a junkie is when I started disliking him.

reply

He wasn't there to be popular; more to create and move the drama! With so many seasons, everyone's gone through changes! 

He is without a doubt the most repulsive character I have ever seen in any movie or TV show. And that stupid hat made it worse. He was tolerable when he was pretending to be changed.

reply

The actor playing him was actually a male fashion model and didn't have much acting experience other than a few small parts in other stuff. In my opinion his acting got much, much better later on. The writers added more dimension to his character and you cut to see his cunning edge.

reply

I haven't looked up the actor yet, but the model thing makes a lot of sense; he's like a beautiful sculpture.

reply

So true. And his acting range really grew and grew. If you've ever seen him in the Monk episode, "Mr. Monk and the African Man", you simply can't believe the actor is the same man who portrays Adabisi.

reply

Holy shit, I totally forgot he was in that episode! I'll have to rewatch it again now that I know that's him.

Also the guy that plays Tobias was in an episode of "Masters of Horror", which I didn't realize until I watched it a second time after watching "Oz".
Man, so many good actors in that show.
