In each case, the series’ sprawling storylines explored how those systems chug along, often serving the interests of the powerful while chewing up ordinary people unlucky enough to get caught in their wake. Furthermore, systemic racism, inept bureaucracy, and the indifference of leaders who are supposed to care about the people wind up strangling America’s urban centres.
