I did not get a racist feel at all about the 2 pilot episodes, you have to remember that the LA riots took place 3 years before this. Also if you look at how the transitions took place between the scenes it has a comic book look. Most of the black characters were very well spoken. A prime example is of the therapist who somewhat took care of the doctor. In the 3rd episode she was replaced with a smart ass black sassy housekeeper. His two original assistants were smart young black people, in the third episode he had a British guy and a quirky white sidekick who "wanted in" after he was beaten up in the alley. It's too bad the network got involved....Sam Rami and David Eick went on to way bigger things. I am glad to be able to see the 2 hour pilot here on Hulu so can't be mad at that.....   See 4 other replies

The first two episodes are the only ones worth watching. Apparently, the network got involved at that point and told them to make it more "mainstream," i.e. more acceptable to white folks in the midwest who are uncomfortable thinking about black culture, or anything beyond their limited scope of understanding. Yes, it's a bit cheesy at points and there's one entirely pointless joke about immigration status, but overall the pilot episodes felt a lot more real than than the rest of the episodes, which are nothing more than formulaic go-nowhere substandard sci-fi fare.   See 4 other replies

They mention affirmative action at least twice in this show. I agree, why can't the show just have some excellent black actors without being about race? Sad to see how far we haven't come some days. But overall, it's still a fun show, decent acting, typical super-hero plots.   See 4 other replies

How is it "focused on race"? Just because the principle actors are black? The story line isn't focused on race at all.   See 4 other replies
