Sometimes little things niggle way more than they're supposed to.

There's a TV show called Ellis about a cop who drives to small English towns when there's been a murder to solve the crime. Often the local cops aren't welcoming. They think they don't need the help.

Ellis is a Black woman

There was a review in The Independent that condemned the show for "identity politics" even tho the show almost never mentions race or gender.

Read the review a week ago but I'm still cross

@davidnjoku oh, wow. You have me wanting to watch this one now, though.
@kmmich @davidnjoku Random drive-by review: I went in to it expecting to be underwhelmed and have been captivated by it. Well above average, though not perfect by any means.
@Gaolaitch @kmmich I agree. I watch very little on TV these days but I've come back to this show.
