I can't wait for a season 2. There is so much left untold and the last episode left you completely in suspense. I was engaged the entire season 1. It not only kept my emotions going I felt connected and empathy to everyone's roles in this story. I absolutely will be reading the book..I was disappointed with the way the last episode ended and I wish they would have added one more episode with a few more questions answered. I hope a release date to a season 2 comes out soon. I can't wait to see the next chapter to all of these characters lives. As far as modern issues that it touched it brilliantly expressed the concerns and threats many experience with the politics of social statuses emphasizing on the discrimination that can be associated to it.
