I really didn\u0092t like the show\u0092s handling of Emmitt Till. It felt cheap. He\u0092s essentially just an extra in previous extras, isn\u0092t mentioned for a while and then his death happens and we\u0092re supposed to feel bad. And if you know the event you will feel probably, but so much of the episode is devoted to his murder you\u0092d think he was a series regular. Maybe I wouldn\u0092t feel this disappointment if he was. It might have been better if they just left him out of the show all together. This cheap middle ground feels like an easy, fast way to appeal to the audience\u0092s pathos. Ultimately I think this is a manifestation of King B\u0092s concern from episode 1 of this shows ability to balance eldritch horror with real life horror. The cutting between the 2 prevents either from reaching it\u0092s full potential. Am I off here?
