Season 1 Review:
Issa Rae’s appearance punctuates the parade of whiteness, though her character does little more than provide lip service to diversity of perspective. ... The Danish film-maker Lars Von Trier says that a good film should be “like a rock in your shoe”, and the poet Cesar A Cruz declared the purpose of art “to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed”. In this capacity, by the basic functioning of art, Rudnick and Roach have failed. As activists, doubly so.

I hate to agree with the Guardian on...well...anything, but yeah, this is garbage. This comes off as if a TV producer thought the Imagine and that other celeb video would make a great TV show. Can we just let Bette Midler go? Seriously, do we ever need to see or hear her again?
