Damn Depressing Is What This Is...

If you ask me & if you didn’t my opinion still stands. C’mon is everything that’s coming out these days have to do with racism & prejudice? Wasn’t that case with “Watchmen?” & what else that was recently out that had to do with that? The country is tearing itself apart but yet we have what I thought was going to be a supernatural type of series & what’s the main theme yet again? Racism, namely white on black racism.

Makes me want to flat out abandon this after episode 1 & trust me other than that I looked forward to this. Talk about beating a dead horse.

I feel that you answered your own question in the OP. Racism is topical - as you stated, the country is tearing itself apart - which makes it a living horse. Also, I really don't know how you could've read the synopsis or watched a trailer and assumed racism wasn't going to be part of this show. The execution is not my favourite, but that has nothing to do with concept itself, which I quite like.
