I agree with others that the writing, plot, and characters are very weak. Nothing compelling or original about this show. A minor sample of the writing: Falcon, the hero of the show, says "Every time something gets better for one group, it gets worse for another". So society is a zero sum game. So basically, look out for yourself. Don't advocate for the less fortunate, or your life will get worse. I don't think this was the writer's intent, unless he's a closet Republican. I think it's just bad writing.
