It's Netflix, guess what
Everyone is gay, racially diverse, the whole 9 yards of woke.
Seriously canceling the service next month JUST because of this shit they keep ramming us with
The diverse cast is explained in the show really well. As for everyone's orientation, that didn't bother me either. What did bother me was something that I have seen in a number of Netflix shows. You watch them all the way to the end where they then force an agenda down your throat that just seems, well, forced. This would be Madeline's monologue at the end of episode 8. They tried to tie it into the show, but it left me feeling like I was getting my indoctrination from the Netflix puppetmasters.
Otherwise, not too bad. The show kept me interested to the end.
How was the diverse cast explained well? He has 3 children who are clearly not the same race as him. Not mixed race, but fully of a different race. It would have made far more sense to say that they were adopted. (Sure, people will say that so and so is mixed race and looks more one way that the other. But here we are talking about 3 different people with 3 different mothers who all look nothing whatsoever like they could be their father's child).
The monologue about the supreme court and viagra was definitely pure political indoctrination. It was so over the top that it was almost comical to listen to.
I mean, actors are actors. I am ok they did not look like their actor dad. It was explained that they all had different mothers and that was that. Remember the Cosby Show? Those kids were every color but white, and it was still a good show.

They were all still black. share
I think both Leo and Prospero could have a caucasian parent... but with Victorine I do agree with you that there is no chance one of her parents is white... which also annoys me as it is clearly established that Roderick is the biological father (I mean she dies)...
So why you couldn't find a more light skinned black actress to play Victorine is strange... other than that I don't care if they are portrayed as gay, bi, straight or whatever... I mean all the Usher kids are kind of despicable... so doesn't displaying them as awful people go against the so-called woke agenda you are complaining about?
That's kind of the point though. There's not really any reason for it other than inclusion. I feel like it takes you out of the experience because it's instantly obvious what they're doing. If they had decided to make the show about a black family or a latino family I wouldn't be thinking wait where's the white kid, the asian kid, etc.
shareI guess Roderick likes a little "chocolate" in his coffee... Nothing wrong with that;-)
I do agree to some extent that it seemed wierd with such an extreme biracial mix... But as I said Victorine was the only one that really stood out to me... I mean no way one of her biological parents was white...
