I loved the fact that race became invisible. You notice it with a shock at first and then it doesn't seem to be anything at all, so unlike reality. No one, not even Mrs. Witherspoon makes mention that the lovers are of mixed race. This is the power of this visually beautiful series as well as stating for the first time for me the way innocent women are manipulated by sex and how everything about sex is kept from them like it's a big secrete and mystery. ha ha...they even mention barn yard animals as a way for women to know about sex, just like my own mother! Perfect!
