It's... close to being ok. A big thing is that every couple is race mixed, like they took the MC's original girlfriend and expanded her role and made her black, the MC is half asian and half alien that looks white. The real best character isn't human, but looks white.
Nolan, aka Omni Man, is from a genocidal race that due to a disease, he's one of 50 pure blooded (Let's just call them Sayans) left. The Sayans spread across the galaxy, interbreed with populations, and conquer. When Nolan is with his son, he's legitimately a loving father. Rough at times, like his idea of training involves punching him because "Bad guys aren't going to go gentle on you, that was just a love tap", but he legitimately cares. Nolan is, from humanity's point of view, legitimately evil, dude wiped out the Justice League (that was race and gender swapped from their original Invincible iterations, White Batman and male Green Lantern became black Batman and female Green Lantern. Nolan gets outed because he's cocky as hell (throws the evidence in the garbage) and has his plans rushed to hell so he basically just is left to yell at his son that it's time to wipe out humans (and shove his face into a train. His son's face wins that fight.)
A quick glance at what's coming, Nolan and Invincible reconcile in the comic. MC legitimately forgives his father for using his face as a battering ram to gore a hundred people, and the father becomes a good guy eventually, which is a shockingly deep look at forgiveness and stuff like that. If the show is going to follow that path, no idea.
