First came the crowd funding campaign, then the movie, and finally the Netflix series: Dear White People has had a long and steady road to mainstream stardom, but now that it has finally made its way its second season of streaming, people are finally sitting up and noticing just how good this show is.

Created by Justin Simien (he of Variety's "10 Directors to Watch" fame), Dear White People is an on-the-nose satire that explores what it means to be a person of color in today's society, focusing specifically on college campuses. The show discusses a number of current events that have been pertinent and important conversation topics in recent years, including police brutality, interracial relationships, discovering sexuality, and more.

While this show truly shines because of its ability to bring crucial dialogue to the forefront of our society, critics also love it because its truly very funny and well made. The acting is top notch--many of the characters are played by actors reprising their roles from the film, so they know their characters inside and out--and the writing is tight. What's most impressive about this show, however, is that more often than not you'll be in stitches watching the antics of college students play out against the backdrop of an elite Ivy League university. That's why this show is so good: it uses humor and quips to communicate ideas and themes that might otherwise be difficult to hear.

In short: go watch Dear White People. Season Two is streaming now on Netflix, and you can catch up on Season One there too if need be. Episodes are around thirty minutes long each, so you've got no excuse to not take a break from finals studying and start enjoying this exceptional show.
