Everyone seems to want to compare it to Breaking Bad and call it unoriginal.
But it's not really like Breaking Bad (I would compare it more to Ozark since the Judge seems to have been a bit corrupt from before we even met him).
And its not exactly subtle, but the way they're beating the audience over the head with the idea of "Privilege" is kind of original.
I kind of like the thing the show does where we see the Judge talking to some seemingly random character, and you're like "who is this person, and how do they relate to the story?"
Then you always find out that the Judge is constantly using a false identity to con somebody into helping out his alibi in some way.
He's so good a lying and manipulating people, you think he must have had a lot of practice.

I just finished episode 4 and this aint it. I hate when shows try to have the deep, interconnected storylines that deal with societal issues buy they don't get writers who can carry the load. You need nuance to do this not this ham fisted nonsense.
Some of these plot lines and twists are laughable. The inhaler sitting right in the middle of the crime scene and not taken as evidence even though there's blood on it, the victim's brother being transferred to the same jail as the person who killed his brother, he kills his brother's killer in hand to hand combat and they cover it up, there's a hit and run and police don't gather video footage from the scene, etc.
Black folks getting victimized left and right and looking utterly helpless throughout . They're not even developed, 3 dimensional characters they're just getting victimized or being villainous stereotypes. Kofi just taking L after L and we really don't know anything about him. He's not a character he's a caricature.
These shows usually start off well but then you see it's amateur hour in the writers room. I'm gonna fast forward through the remaining episodes just to see how this ends.
Edit:
How are all the bad things happening to this one black family?
