So far I watched the first episode and a bit of the second. There is a lot of anti Black violence and it is hard to watch!
In the first episode, two white cops taser the man who fell to earth, who just so happens to have Black skin. He was also threatened at gun point by what looked like a white supremacist. He was mocked at the police station by a white female cop, another form of violence. Later he was jumped and beaten severely by two rednecks.
In the second episode Faraday was slapped across the face by the guy who plays Thomas Newton and later he was slapped across the face by a white waitress.
The character who plays Spencer Clay was rude and kept gaslighting the Black waitress while his white friend Drew Finch sat, watched and laughed.
Though it is nice to see Black characters in lead roles, for a change, the violence they endure is not okay, as it teaches that it is okay to treat people of African descent in this inhumane, brutal, uncivilized manner.
A show where Black people are constantly beating up on white bodies would never be tolerated!
