Perhaps a few words on why such extreme ratings?

Halfway through episode 2... some Woke boxes checked.

This started out with a couple of major woke flags:
- The protagonist is black with a white wife.
- Episode 2 had a monologue rant in a 1692 slave ship that had some post-slavery agenda. I'm not defending slavery in America's first century. That is an atrocity that was ended with the blood of many Americans. I agreed with slave traders being burned alive on a ship in the middle of the Atlantic. This rant mentioned 300 years (to 1992) including being shot by police and deprived of human rights, etc.

Episode 3: A deal killer for me. A homosexual sex scene was pending. One of the participants walked into the room with full-frontal-nudity. His partner was sitting on the edge of the bed in obvious desirous anticipation. Click... no more. On to reruns of The Sopranos for the night.

CAUTION: If this was MPAA rated, it would have a hard time keeping R. It really pushes the edge. Perhaps crosses over. In the first 3 episodes, there were three full-frontal nudity shots and a dick-pic. The sex scenes were beyond MPAA - R.

There was also a lesbian sex scene in episode 3. It was brief, but there nonetheless.

If the wokeness presented as an agenda, I would've maxed the scale. It's just incidental and edgy from the minds of the woke.

The acting is great. The story is interesting. I really wanted to see where it was going. I may read the book.
