Sankofa viewing 

Sankofa viewing — Sankofa is an African word from the Akan tribe in Ghana. The literal translation of the word and it associated symbol is “it is not taboo to fetch what is at risk of being left behind.”

In contemporary parlance a Sankofa viewing is going back and watching to prior episodes of a series that you are bingeing to both refresh your memory and to see if the series is well written.

By tracing the backstories of the major characters you will easily be able to tell if the story arcs are well planned; or, if a group of writers are just throwing some third act plot twist shite against a wall to see if it will stick!!!!!

For practicing this art I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE WALKING DEAD OR ANY OF ITS CLONES because you will be terribly disappointed by the writing and a group of writers were throwing a lot of third act plot twist shite against the wall to see if it would stick!!!!!!!

The Sopranos, on the other hand, will not disappoint and rewards rewatching, They were telling you where it was going from episode one.

Amazingly, when you get good at this with binge watching visual mediums, it may be useful to read a book or two. Most good books reward a Sankofa Reading. After all, isn’t that why writing was invented?

But, ya gotta start somewhere.
A new season of What We Do in the Shadows is about to start; let’s do a Sankofa viewing of the series and the movie so that we can catch all of the details and the subtleties.
