“There is a vast and insidious conspiracy here in Tulsa.” Grand intersection of past and present and of generations, Tulsa and its history being at the center of it all. Decent macrocosm and certainly good storytelling, but the micro is just rotten. Maddening just how graceless and heavy-handed this show is with racism and its big subjects in general. It uses the KKK as generously as Snyder does slow-motion. There is just a complete inability to paint grey here. Very underwhelming writing. I can’t claim I’m a very big fan of retconning or touching upon the original work either (especially considering that Hooded Justice is more heavily alluded to be a Nazi sympathizer and a right-winger in general than a gay man), but whatever, don’t really care at this point. With this being two-thirds of the way through the series, I don’t think there’s any chance of me being swayed the other way around. Also magic film mind control...that's pretty dumb.

Let's see if what they will do with Will I guess.
