I will spoiler a little as it does not sound like you will watch it.........so space a bit for people to not see what I am going to say.
I only made it to the point where the 32's are eating with the 33's, so about 15-20min into the first episode.
You are right, there is a "typical" 1950's cowboy at a birthday party doing rope tricks, I really like this actor but I can't remember his name, he was in justified and I think he did real well with that roll.
At one point the one man at the party says why is SO and SO doing kids birthday parties....leading us to think this cowboy is a big star at the time. To that another replies, why else do you think Divorce. At this point the dad asks the cowboy to do his trade mark thumbs up and the cowboy refuses.
I am getting to woke I promice.
A little later on his daughter comes up and asks him why he would not do it. His daughter is multi racial.
Now we all know it did happen. Sammy Davis Jr. had a white wife and at the time there are places in the country he could not go without getting arrested, we know it happened, but it was not common. And it was even more uncommon at the time for a white man to marry a black woman.
I gave it a slide, saw it for what it was and went on.
When the bombs start falling the birthday family runs to the bomb shelter. (I THINK) a black man at the party comes up and tries to get into the shelter as well, the owner of the shelter punches him in the face and closes the door and locks it.
I have a feeling the color of the man getting punched was chosen for a specific reason. It really is a shame that these thought pop into my mind now, but I think it is accurate.
I am not far in yet, but if you like that universe I would so far say give it a go.
Don't not watch something for what you THINK it might be. If you already have prime it does not cost you one thin dime to take a look. If you don't like don't watch that simple.
If you don't look at it yourself and form your own views then just go on to say whatever other say, I see that as the worst possible thing, no worse then the extremes on the other side.
My position has always been, I will read the book/article, watch the movie or video and make my own decision. I do freely admit I do less and less of this as it costs money to do this, and until it becomes free somewhere I will not look at that "new civil war movie". But the second it becomes free I will give it a look and again make my own decision.
Just my views.
