Well, what can I say??? ummm....

trigger warnings!!!

as I began to to watch this sci-fi (alternate reality) TV series (HBO), I had to put it on stop after a minute or two in the beginning because of the horrific and apparent portrayal of gratuitous violence derived from the "The Tulsa race riot (also called the Tulsa massacre, Greenwood Massacre, or the Black Wall Street Massacre)" of 1921, a real event of which I was not aware of, and which I had to google and read about. It was more of a slaughter than a riot, what a disgusting and racist misnomer!!! Now, I am quite aware of how rotten & callous & unfeeling people involved in racism are, anyone who hates... but I really wasn't prepared for what transpired in the first few minutes... it was like I was there... so I began to fast-forward... and more tragic violence all over the place... good grief !!

I also had some problems with the complicated story-line, which I found too difficult to follow, at least for me. I really didn't understand what was going on, nor could I understand the point, the "why" of such episodes, of this series...

And, because of all the strange characters and scene-shifting, I also couldn't find anyone to relate to... It just seems that quite a few of these new modern sci-fi series are beyond anything I might enjoy... re-creations of some neurotic writer's nightmares.

So, after having sorta watched not more than half of the first two episodes, I will not be watching any more of this series.

In sum, I do not recommend this TV series.
