Spike Lee hijacking
Episodes 1 and 2 were done really well. They provided a lot of pre-hurricane footage and videos that residents took of their neighborhoods and their plans to evacuate or stay. It seems that in many cases they stayed because they either had no transportation or resources to evacuate. It seems that the city was not completely prepared for worst case scenarios like the levees breaking. That is really what caused most of the devastation. Episode 3's tone felt different when it started. That is because Spike Lee stepped in to produce it and interview various people that were involved in the hurricane. Race baiting, climate change, politics, and even COVID (?) dominated the episode. While I understand that a large amount of the population that had to evacuate was black, this should really be an issue of how the government and public officials respond to natural disasters. It should not be a black or white issue. No American would've wanted to see these people suffering or dying. Anyways, I recommend watching the series. Unfortunately, I had a knock off several stars due to the last episode but for sure episodes 1 and 2 are worth watching.
