Wandered So Much What Happened and.. Thank God.
18 April 2021
I started watching the show only a month ago. I work in HR and "how can I help" approach is a very good example of servant-leadership. It's inspiring even if my business have nothing to do with healthcare and even if as all movie-making, evey technical detail is not accurate considering normal flow of life and sector. If drama and scenario writing was not included, believe me you did not even glare a second. Watch how movies are made in "The Invention of Lying". Anyhow, I was not there for technical objections.

I was there because I did not want to believe such a great show, even risking to drive into "our new normal" unlike the majority, just messed it up. What I watched was relying on discrimination, especially about races. And I really wished IMDB to rebalance their evaluation system so that this show's handling the discrimination subject will not be confused with Game of Thrones like, Dexter like and Boardwalk Empire like messing up the whole.

I cannot say that every oppinion, every course that characters go is exactly the way it's supposed to be. But I have hope that it will find its way and there's time for it. For political botherers, your wishes for the show to be non-politic is like me wishing you never express your so-I*call "stupid ideas" around. But I try not to be a tyrant, a discriminator, a bully, etc. We are complete when every oppinion, idea finds its way to be expressed, limited with ethics and law. And these can change on time, look only a year ago which things were appropriate to do and look today which things are not. And maybe if humanity succeeds to overcome Covid and variants, in a few years, what seems mandatory today will look meaningless.

I want this show to express its oppinions on social matters, that's what makes this show great. But producers of the show must know that once they start to give judgments about controversial issues, it will become a problem. So far, I see conclusions where people accept involuntarily but also live with it. Or walk away from what they do not want in their lives. As long as different judgments are made by different characters, it won't affect the show's progress. But if we started seeing that every major character accept one of the choices in a controversial situation one day, I think it would be the moment that the show is supposed to end.
