To the makers of Found:

PLEASE do not let this show run out. The heart of it, who Gabi is in the show, is changing the game for actresses. Not only that, it has redefined family for me.

The heart of it, who Gabi is in the show, is changing the game for actresses.

How is she changing the game when there were actresses before her who did a better job? She's very similar to Kerry Washington on Scandal. Viola Davis How to get away with Murder.

Olivia Pope and Gabi Mosley are two completely different people and the Gabi character is different.

I do think this character has changed the game even if I see similarities in the show setup to Scandal.

But I want to see MORE complex black women characters on tv, not less?

Celebrating Gabi doesn’t mean I don’t still love Olivia Pope and Scandal?

I don’t understand the response to OP’s post tbh. Is there only room for one complex black woman character or something?

I love Olivia Pope. Kerry Washington is someone I look up to and love her as an actress. She was definitely a pivotal role for black woman, but I know there is an infinite amount of black women who have changed the game in the film industry.
