Re: TV: The Good Place
The Good Fight
I watched The Good Wife a couple of years ago. Watched the first season of this a couple of months ago. It was ok.
I did have to google if people found the show racist. And found this from the creator:
The Kings say they "welcome" any criticism they might receive, both for the show's casting and its take on on race-related matters.
"The show criticized itself for that by having Barbara Volstead worry that the culture of the firm would be taken over by Diane bringing in a lot of white employees," Robert explains, adding, "The show is not a critique of racism with a capital R, it’s a critique of liberal racism — how people who think of themselves aligned as woke are often perpetrating and continuing to perpetrate some of the old biases without acknowledging it. There’s a deeper hypocrisy with that, when the racism is coming from the world of being liberal. And I think that’s what the show’s about, and I think to explore that, you need white people in it."

This is way worse than the time last week when I accidentally ranked nirvana songs in the podcast thread.

I thought it was strange that they had a show with a black law firm, but nearly all the major roles in the first season of the tv show went to white characters.

Anyway, I thought this was nice but clearly one of Pixar's lesser efforts and clearly aimed at children. The dinosaur was cute though

Re: TV: The Good Place
Maybe a mod can move my posts to an appropriate thread?

Re: TV: The Good Place
Which is the most racist? The Good Place, The Good Wife or The Good Fight?
