As German viewer I don't understand why this episode is criticized as political. It's the current reality in the US and I think it's great that the show picks up latest events and is set in the real world! (By the way: all of Rendall's actions and decisions also make perfect sense to me!)

However, the twist at the end feels absolutely unnecessary. Why are they doing that? This (might) just create tons of logical mistakes...

Anyway: Sterling K. Brown's performance is awesome! (But that's nothing new, is it?)

A not great first hour saved by the last second of the second hour.

We all know that Hollywood is liberal, but c'mom man...

Randall, who always loved his family and it was very much loved by his parents, now realizes, at the age of 40, thanks to BLM, that all his unhappy is because his family was white. It doesn't matter all the loving involved before and that the show had told us, during 4 seasons, that his breakdows were because of his sense of control and the tried of replaceming Jack taking care of the family.

Kate starts apologizing to Randall just because he complained about being a black person in a white family, even if she doesn't understand why she is apologizing and even if she had always treated him with love and suport.

The producers replaced the Pearson family's life by the daily news.

Very bad start of season, I hope they forget the politics and start to remember what this show was all about...

Well it was about time wasn't it! That evil girl Kate had what was coming to her. Sorry Kate but all the racial issues in the world have clearly been all your fault. But thank the Lord for dear old Randall, the poor black kid that was stolen at birth and raised by such despicable racists. How tough his life has been with all that unnecessary parental love and nurturing. I mean what's that all about...!?! Thankfully Randall made sure he knew exactly who to blame for his own torture as well as all the suffering from career criminals at the hands of the evil US police force. Sorry Kate but you had it coming!!

Ok that's enough of my British sarcasm for one evening. Seriously it's such a shame that such a wonderfully written and acted TV show decided to bin its integrity in such a shameful insufferable self-righteous manner. In an instant all respect for the show disappeared faster than one of Kevin's girlfriends. Could I stomach what was likely to follow in upcoming episodes?? No, I bailed out at this point just the 70 odd episodes in. In truth I think I may have drowned in the upcoming smugness of it all. I do however wonder whether Randall had to deal with riots on the streets but somehow I seriously doubt it! I'm sure everything was peaceful! And was nasty Kate rightfully convicted of George Floyd's death and all other hate crimes? I guess I'll never know (apologies, looks like I had a little bit more sarcasm in me after all)....

Because of BLM, Randall decides to reject his white family and his white therapist? At 40 years old, he slaps them over their faces with the race issue and they can only feel small and guilty, apologizing, not knowing exactly for what,?

It is so stupid to add the BLM dimension to the series. First of all its American politics and this show is for a global audience. Secondly it is so inaccurate to depict Randal as a victim of racism where it is obvious from what we have seen throughout his life that he has never suffered. Lastly, i dont think Covid is a political issue, but adding it is uneccessary.
