Took longer than I thought it would to read this, but there was a lot to get through. Definitely could be a standalone movie someday. Surprised the series was sold to ABC. Would’ve seen this more like suitable for Prime. Also thought it was a bit ironic that a book about White supremacy was largely full of White characters. Would’ve thought this subject matter would’ve included a more diverse cast.
