I never saw the original series, but the plot sounded interesting. After watching the first two episodes, I can see it's NOT my type of program. The principal writer is black but last night show where they start singing black
"protest" songs seems to be way out of line. The very mean guards/police are basically the only white players with the exception of a white husband.
I have a feeling that the audience will diminish week after week. As said, the concept is good, but not a very interesting program to watch each week.
