  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated

  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

Just as a warning, there is a lot of violence and extremely racist dialogue.  The writer uses this to portray the darkness that can live within humanity, and tackles modern day problems.
