There is no pretence here. Up front the makers say these are parables to make you think about issues that they feel affect American society. In the first two episodes it is racism and gun control.
As a result we have a modern Tales of the Unexpected with a number of agendas.
Like another review I think they should have shown episode 2 about gun control first. It was well performed and tight. I had seen a similar story before but it was good.
Episode 1 was about police malfeasance and racism. As a result it did not really contribute anything. And so put people off.
I don't really think the series achieves its goal of encouraging discussions. Messages forced on the audience without entertaining them never work.
