I LOVED episode one. The show’s cast is wonderful. The writers wisely temper a fantastical premise by making the protagonists ordinary, likable, and relatable. It was episode two that made me roll my eyes and get ticked off when they introduced characters who are devout Catholics. Here it comes, I thought. Religious believers are the only identity group that’s still fair game for Hollywood to villainize, so when you see somebody praying or speaking Latin you know right away that they are cardboard cutout Bad People . I don’t know why a show that’s otherwise so thoughtful and well done when depicting their protagonists would resort to such lazy stereotyping when depicting their antagonists.
