1. It's laugh out loud funny. And not afraid to tackle tough subjects.

6. "Martin Luther Skiing Day" and "Lemons"

Speaking of tackling tough subjects. I just recently caught 2 episodes that exemplify that.

The first was "Martin Luther Skiing Day" .. First it was funny as heck but also informative. I was not aware that the speaker system was sabotaged just prior to the .. 'I Have a Dream' speech. RFK enlisted the Army Corps of Engineers to get it up and running.

They didn't mention this but I have since read that one possible reason that the Attorney General used them instead of members of his own Justice Department to fix it was a suspicion that J Edgar was behind the sabotage. Which brings us to the second episode I just recently saw.

"Lemons" was an episode of blackish dealing with the election of Trump. They really did a great job of showing how the characters were struggling to come to grips with it. The thing is now, as bad as they imagined it might be, it's turned out even worse.

Going back to RFK being undermined by J Edgar and the FBI. Now we have Bill Barr flipping that on it's head and undermining his own Justice Department. Likewise you have Trump going around his own Intelligence experts using Rudy Guiliani to investigate Crowdstrike. It was inconceivable at the time to think it would get this bad.
