Yeah, there's a lot of important issues being talked about and I really like how every season focuses on a different part of the city and how things are changing for different groups of people. I think I worded the other post too harshly because it's a good show and not everything needs a quirked up white boy to provide comedic relief. But it definitely fits into the "no good protagonist" slot. The first few episodes of Season 1 are just a bunch of cops beating up black people and I was like "these are supposed to be the protagonists?" I was carried through by the few sympathetic characters and alternating viewpoints. Even in Season 2, there's people (the Sobotka relatives) who I think are supposed to be sympathetic but who I don't really care about.
