That's not an insult to the actors, who are often amazing. But it's nutty to have a racist Western narrative in which no one talks abt race.
Looking forward to reading a great racial analysis of WW. Bc I think the show is a perfect example of how diverse casting can mean nothing.

does anybody definitively know what this show is about? Or is that secondary to everything else?

No one every really knows what something interesting is about. The show is interesting but it bums me out & I think it's a mess.

at first I thought this was about West Wing and I was so confused as WW was white af.

I thought of Wonder Woman at first!

I consider it to apply to all three.

Yes, the lack of nuance on race is bizarre, esp with the constant implicit race themes (robots as slaves, oppressed others)

The New Puritanism. Is there anything people can enjoy without some finger-wagging scolds sucking all the joy away?

Some shows get better as they go along. I must say, I do-not think "Western World" is one of those!
