Powerful and beautiful
I am the target demographic for this show. I love sci-fi and dance shows, but this is so much more than that. It's a show about self-expression in a repressive society, especially for people who feel misunderstood and marginalized.
I came across this because Hulu created a category for shows with black lead characters for Black History Month. Hip hop music and dance developed as a counter-culture as a way for African Americans to share their experience through art. So much of Black culture has grown out of art and has influenced society and popular culture. This show is an innovative way to continue this legacy, and I love it.
People who have rated this poorly do not have the ability to understand the cultural significance of Black artistic expression and how it transcends genres. African Americans are historically underrepresented in sci-fi, and there is always criticism of and resistance to changes to the status quo, even in art. Sci-fi is innovative by nature, and this show is the definition of innovative.
