Apart a few casting choices that appear, well just are; Forced. If you are going to insist on "quotas" for roles, fine. But get the best actress or actor that fits that overly obsessive unnecessary criteria, but if you fall short...just GET THE BEST ACTOR OR ACTRESS THAT BEST FITS THE ROLE? Get my hint? Probably not. Anyhow, I hope Netflix wises up to the "critics" and the power they pretend to yield. They will never be pleased. You see ticking off every one of their forever changing required check boxes to satisfy these "critics" and whatever lever on the political equalizer they adjust on the day, will do nothing more than bog down production, produce nothing of value, guarantee a ruined great idea and a series (or movie) that is dead before it started, plagued with rewrites, wasting time injecting irrelevant "agenda's" into the scripts at every opportunity, and finally blaming fans for the failure. So I'm glad Netflix only checked off only a few. Admittedly I did got worried a few times though, succumbing to temptation perhaps at times? But it's not important enough right? The story is more important right? Why do I get the feeling I'm talking to a child? So I'm actually flexible! You want to appeal to a global audience and inject a global representation into series? Fine. But get the script right, do your best to adhere to the original material, great visuals, direction and camera work and how can you go wrong? Because apparently you do go wrong, along with everyone else in Hollywood. But good job! You get a deplorable person like me giving it 8/10! See it's not hard is it? Great acting, interesting subplots that all correlated with the main plot line. All done well enough considering. Just pay attention to my unpaid non-shill advice and don't screw it up. Look forward to Season 2.
