GarudaPrime posted:This is all just mostly conjecture, but based on the tease of the premise the showrunner leaked, I would guess that telling a story where black people come into power and abuse it at scale was probably unpalatable to the network. This saddens me because this is exactly the problem I had with the finale: power was very much inequitably distributed along racial lines, this time in favor of black people, and it felt like that was portrayed as a good thing. Daring to take the inevitable next step and show that this power imbalance, too, would be ruthlessly exploited for selfish reasons, because people are people regardless of color, would have been excellent. But yeah, you either tell that story with no constraint or don’t bother.

Really curious to see what's up with New England in this world. Yeesh. We already have a broken US depicted in the Handmaid's Tale. If we had one on HBO as well you'd have to start asking how many networks have to show something before it becomes true. You got trump supporters openly talking about civil war on tv these days. Having multiple TV shows running civil war scenarios for entertainment sounds like something no executive wants to be a part of. I can see why they shied away from this.

Is there a different Jefferson I’m forgetting? Why would New England be Jefferson Commonwealth when he was a Virginian?
