A quick comment on this British series on Apple TV+. We just finished watching season 2. I started season 1 last year, but didn't make it through the first episode. I think I got the impression it was going to be mostly about a black woman cop fighting white patriarchy, and that didn't exactly draw me in.

It is about a black woman cop fighting white male patriarchy, but it's about much more than that too. I haven't read any reviews of the series. I expect that season 2 will be criticized for the very things I found compelling, though perhaps they might also be called "manipulative."
