I dunno if anyone else but me noticed, but if you pay close attention to crowd shots in the OP live action, nearly every single crowd shot has a black person front and center. It happens far too often to be coincidence. OP does not have that many black people in it in the original series.
That said, obvious wokeness and race swapping aside, the show itself was actually not bad.
The showrunner is black and the show is shot in South Africa. It's not so bad that it takes away from the series. At least OP is a fantasy world where there was a global culture that died out and now a World Gov controls everything. It's fair to have different skin colors, since the theory is the world was more connected 800 years ago.
