Behold the red flags in the show's genesis: It was written in 2020 during the Black Lives Matter movement; the cast is nearly all POC, so they altered most of the source materia; filming was completed in 2022 and is only now coming to light; the completed product went through double-digit amounts of edits; the studio only put out a trailer barely a month before the debut; and they burped out the entire series in about a week with two, 3-episode releases. Even as Disney head Bob Iger has declared they will be focusing more on quality of content rather than quantity, this thing gestated back when the studio was marinating in virtue activism; so, we get possibly the most woke-DEI-checkbox casting ever seen, all done in a bid to hire a cast and crew based on their labels as opposed to their talent and servicing the storyline. White Castle ponies up big dollars to have lengthy scenes shot in a location, but who thought it was a good idea to have a group of POC women seen breaking out in a fight inside of a restaurant, with all the videos of this very thing seen on social media?!
