Pros: Technically looks pretty good, including set design, costumes, and the animation is fun and well done.
Cons: Way too contrived and heavy-handed to appeal either to my tv taste or my sense of humor. I couldn't see beyond the corporate intention: "a funny take on a serious issue that people can enjoy and laugh about while also being made aware". Maybe it's just impossible to take a (figuratively speaking) "cartoonish" approach to BLM and systemic racism. Maybe it's too soon to make this tragedy a comedy. I don't know.
Summary: It's not my normal practice to review a series based on one episode so dismiss if you wish but I have a difficult time considering watching episode 2.
