1x02 Custody

The first non-white person to show up in the series so far is... Wait for it... A drug dealer. Yep. Fresh.

@pivic ....In what world is Samir (Spetz) not a person of color? I understand that the first black character being a drug dealer is pretty shit, but that doesn't mean we need to look past non-black POC. I do wonder if that is commentary on Sebastian's, and the upperclass, view on race. Especially with Maja's racism towards Ahmad's character (the female prosecutor), who, is also a POC even though she showed up after the drug dealer. Sometimes racism in TV is the characters pov, not the director. Not excusing anything, just thinking out loud.
