Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
What I will say however, regardless of the situation, I'm still really really excited for S2.
Hoping for a 2016 release!

Well that's just stupid and goes against the whole point of the show.

Lame, gonna miss that big smile. The new dude looks too serious.
what the fuck... how is that in any way anti-black???????? it's a point well taken on the topic of segregation. holy fuck this irks me. maybe you need to go back and watch some of her movies and her casting choices.
anyways, i did enjoy his character, he was a good actor. shame whatever happened, happened.
Anti-Black? The Sisters who cast blacks in all of the most popular series the Matrix? lol
Cone the fuck on! I saw people using this last year and it's terrible. They have been nothing of the sort their entire career.
And, yeah, they aren't going to comment on something so silly.
Man, that sucks. He was one of my favourite characters. It's going to be jarring to see somebody else playing him.
EDIT: Reading the tweets if he was being an ass or transphobic then I guess good riddance. Even if changing actors is always weird for the product it's better for those working on the show at least.

He was one of my favourite characters in the show and I loved how the actor played him with a optimistic happiness and innocence, but I imagine it was pretty major if they've got rid of him. If he was intolerant then good riddance.
I dunno calling out only black people for not recognizing and accepting a person with a sex change as being officially their new sex seems kinda shitty. They are trying to compare it to racial segregation when the thought process isn't remotely the same.
Little heartbroken, but if Jamie and some others are happy about it then I think that there must have been a very good reason. I'll give the new guy a chance, I need more of this show either way.
They didn't pretend. They literally mentioned it on-screen in his first appearance in Iron Man 2.

"Ep1 at Christmas. The rest, all at once in 2017."
Huh. This is the first time I'm seeing this.

Christmas special? Sounds cheesy.
I don't think it is a Christmas special.

I hope.
Finally binged this and it surpassed my initial response. Watched the pilot when the series released but could barely make it through and never bothered to go back but now that I did I was happy I did so.
Favorite characters were Lito, Wolfgang and Nomi. The standoffs between Lito and that blackmailing dude and Wolfgang with his uncle's crew in which they helped eachother were great! I laughed out loud when the rocket launcher entered the scene, it was so over the top and for me unexpected.
The series does have this 'over the top' feeling in a lot of other stuff as well, especially when emotions were involved and the directors probably thought they needed to put this in your face so that you wouldn't miss it.
But the more I watched the less I was bothered with it. Looking forward to more!

This would be my theory as well, though I'm curious to know what the special would be about. A prequel explaining some of the lore, perhaps?
Oh. Weird. I wonder if that first episode is a longer or more explicitly transitional affair.
Personally given the clarifications by Jamie Clayton on Twitter, I don't think it would be right to continue to spread the transphobic rumor. It seems obvious that something went down, and that the cast isn't exactly sad to see him go, but it seems unfair to suggest something so hateful without even an actual accusation.

They were shooting on new year's eve at midnight so the premiere probably takes place during that time.

Staggered release a la Marco Polo? There was a special on Christmas if I am not mistaken.

Yeah, that's good to hear. Hopefully the cast will keep dropping hints regarding the reason why he was let go.
Like someone else suggested, it's probably similar to what they did with Marco Polo last year.
Agreed 100%. I double-checked but I believe no one in this thread has entertained the thought of Capheus's former actor being transphobic since pashmilla posted Jamie Clayton's clarifying tweets.

Also, some of the cast has been seen in São Paulo ... pointing to some scenes shoot at São Paulo's Pride Parade that happens this sunday, probably the biggest in the world

Lily's leave is completely different from Aml's exit though. It's not due to a disagreement, it's a health issue. Also, she was involved in writing the scripts if I'm not mistaken, she's just not directing the episodes with her sister. And she's open to return for season 3.
By the way, the original Buzzfeed source for the news of Lily's leave is a full blown preview of season 2 that is making me very excited! Will vs Whispers is giving me Inception vibes and they're hyping Riley up, among other things...
I don't think it's a rift. They are probably the tightest sibs in the biz. It's probably because Lilly is going through a transition and needs physical emotional rest? This shoot is probably brutal, and no worries Lana and Tykwer got this.
I've followed their career since Bound and there is no way in hell there is any rift between these two. They are basically one mind. Impossible to even imagine.
