Kinda interested in this and Reddit fawning over the premiere, but that often means it's actually woke trash.
I know the show looks like it's going to be just another "racism bad" sermon in a long line of them.
Anyone watch the premiere?

I bought the book a while back on Amazon because it was a Kindle deal of the day. Read the first chapter and it was about what I expected in the first several pages - Jim Crow South, white people being assholes to the black protagonist, racism in the North, and a lot of scorn heaped on the white sci-fi authors of the 40s and 50s. While indicative of the times and the troubles black people faced, it's not a huge jump to figure that HBO turned it into woke garbage. I'll be finishing the book, but I won't be watching the adaptation, even ironically.
