Hamfisted in SOME areas with the plays on CAPITALISM IS BAD!" tropes that media is known for doing. I thought for a bit it was going to be a play on "SJWism is overdone, everyone has been equal for a while in 2030" but they still manage to squeeze in some awkward lefty bullshit.
Overall a decent show though, I REALLY liked the War Vet character combos, they created some seriously good side characters off him. I really hope we see more of him and his Angel playing off one another, they mesh super well.
I enjoyed that they didn't outright play off that "RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ARE INSANE!!" and put an honest effort into seeing 2 sides of the coin about afterlife in that regard.
The little kid that's really 18 was a cool idea and they could have played a TON off that. I felt they dropped the ball HARD on his character and that one episode where he turned into a girl. The gist that "OMG I lived ONE day as a woman and WAHMEN has it hard!" line was so campy I grew ovaries and then aborted them. Bruh, if a teenager suddenly turned into the opposite gender and were aware of it, they wouldn't have a cathartic moment, they would sit in their room and jerk off. You wouldn't be like, "BRUH WAHMEN HAS IT HARD!" you would be like "Okay so if I touch here...sex?" So, they had a trans character (meh..diversity) BUT THEY WERE HANDED A HOLY GRAIL MOMENT FOR PUSHING TRANS "AGENDA" AND DIDN'T TAKE A SWING?!? What the fuck? For real all they had to do was have the kid turn into a girl and be like, "I think I may stay a girl for a bit, maybe change back later" OR "Can I stay a girl...but keep my penis?" boom, agenda points.
I dunno, I wouldn't care about agenda driven writing if it wasn't so stupid.
yes yes yes, I get it, white men bad, white women stupid / vapid / bitches, ethnics good / spiritual / ethical, sexism bad, acceptance good (Does not apply to white).
Man, now that I'm really sitting down and taking a critical eye to this, the story is almost all SJW talking points.
Rich white family hates one another, poor "Diverse" family loves one another.
Poor white dude dates rich white girl, works on project to save the poors and the diverse from bad whites.
Black girl sees white dude, instantly assumes he's a douche. Later takes him on to open his mind to the plight of the poors and the diverse, not knowing he was already self-flagellating.
LITERALLY the only person who I feel isn't a fuckin 100% trope is Military dude and Afro Girl. Because afro girl treats everyone like they are on a short-leash and doesn't treat people super differently, they all suck in her eyes.
