2/10
Crack dealers are the freedom fighting good guys now?
9 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This show is actually a woke fantasy full of the normal tropes that you would expect.

Violent crack dealers who destroy their own communities without a care are simply rebelling against the white man who has kept them down. It's very weird to watch the monologues about slavery and the white man etcetc and how black people don't stand a chance and how whites are generally evil. And the same violent, murdering and amoral people giving these monologues release a drug into their communities with no moral qualms and see their brethren destroyed. And these are the characters that we're supposed to sympathise with.

There's some funny scenes where South Americans get to say their own hate filled anti-American political monologues-like I said this show is a woke fantasy.

Oh, and to round it all off there are lots of 'strong female characters' littered throughout the show. Female bosses and 'strong women' who always know better than they dumber/more weedy male counterparts.

The attitudes that spawn shows like this are responsible for murderous/violent thugs being seen as sympathetic characters in society. Seriously, this show's moral compass is so damn weird it's surreal.
