I'd imagine we'll get a flashback origin episode at some point. I liked the pilot, I might need to watch it again because I was a bit tired during it. It's definitely setting a tone of "Hey fuckers, we're going to show you the everyday racism faced by POC in this country, so strap in", which at this point is long overdue. Of course, that probably means that a good portion of the audience who should watch it to educate themselves simply won't. Definitely a good pilot though, the action looked well done and the cast and characters are both great so far.

I'm pretty sure I could count the number of non-white people who I've met in any way that live in my hometown in the 25 years or so I've lived here on one hand. I'd probably even have fingers to spare. There were some African immigrants in Cork (one of Ireland's bigger cities) when I lived there for nearly a decade, but even there they were a tiny minority and I mostly encountered them in passing as taxi drivers or what have you. Racism is just not a big thing here, because most immigrants tend to be Eastern European (calling that prejudicial problem nationalism seems weird so I'm not sure what you'd call it, but that definitely exists on the other hand) so while I would hope I'm not racist I honestly have no frame of reference to know and watching this might give me at least a tiny bit more education on the matter in case it ever does become relevant.
