The networks seem so obsessive about inclusion and being PC that their shows begin to lose all sense of reality. La Brea has every ethnic group covered. It tries so hard to be PC that only white characters are bad...they even have a white cop who's bad.
However, the one of the main problems with the show (hey producers...try concentrating on story and acting instead of being "woke") is that the acting is truly atrocious...but maybe it's the directors fault...he has his characters just standing and reading their lines.
Casting is bad also...in the attempt to have younger players on the show (networks want to please that demo group!), none of the parents of the teenagers look old enough to have kids that young...I thought they were brothers and sisters until they used the word "mom."
Finally...the story...it seems so much like "Lost." I have no intention of sitting through season after season, like I did with Lost, only to be served a disappointing ending and no real explanation.
To me, it is a show to watch and laugh at... the script, the acting, the plot is all like a 2022 version of a bad 1950's science fiction flick.
