Yeah, unacceptable to have a white male lead, no gay sex and no woke moments.
WTF is this shit? No diversity hires, no LGBTV+ messages, how was this show even approved??
Yeah it's quite refreshing to have a show with no agendas, just entertainment, no "messages" etc
I'm only 3 eps in but we don't have the female kick ass Special forces soldier yet either.
Asian female reporter. Woman as the top govt. official. White man betrays brother. Tough talking Latina. Female pilot.
I do appreciate how progressive some right-wingers are these days.
It did have several anti-American tropes as well. About one and a half episodes in, it morphed from hunting down a never-seen Middle Eastern terrorist to assassinating evil U.S. military / business leadership. There was more hate America messaging when the heroic Chinese-American reporter went on a prolonged soliloquy equating China’s dictatorship with the U.S. Department of Defense. I think the writers tried to temper these tropes with other virtuous American individual characters but anyone thinking this show is candy for conservatives is missing the main theme: America - and in particular male American leaders - are wicked and rotten to the core.
