*Spoilers*
I’m 4 episodes in out of 6. The black female detective has just said “the world is full of men who think they’re owed everything because they’re male and pale.”
Previously, a black female character said that black ancestors were all heroic warriors.
All white male characters are presented as deeply flawed, psychotic, immoral, terrible fathers, cheats, evil, lost, sexually impotent, or incompetent at their work.
A white male American right winger who is a prepper dared to criticise affirmative action and in the next episode the black female detective breaks multiple laws including breaking and entering to shoot him in both legs and it’s then celebrated and of course she gets away with it.
The two characters that figure out that the white male lead is an evil psycho are a black female and an Hispanic male (who because he’s male is also an alcoholic, pervert and mentally broken).
The only character that isn’t broken by their past is a black female.
The black female detective is described with the white male epithet of a “knight”.
The only reason this doesn’t get maximum marks for wokeness is that one of the arsonists is a black male, so at least that one aspect goes against the normal anti-white messaging.
