When I first heard about the plan for this show, I felt that it was long over do. We need a show like this in reality. And having something being pulled from the headlines like they would do in this show seems like we would need to see something like it in order to further grasp what goes on in reality. We could have used something like this from at least 2016 and the rise of Trump.
Hate crimes were on the rise from then on forward to now. But some people just aren’t familiar with it. That is why a TV show specifically about it would help bring this issue to light. Some people don’t think that the racism because of coronavirus is as big a deal as it is because they aren’t aware. It is a global problem affecting more than just the US.
This show was at one point going to premiere in the 2020-2021 TV season, but this didn’t happen. It may not even premiere on the NBC network due to language concerns. Apparently, they can’t do this show without including all of the offensive slurs directed at people uncensored. Why can’t they do a version of a show without it? I wouldn’t know. The project as of yet remains in development hell and only remains a possibility that could happen with no certainty that it will.
That is why they need to make sure that this show gets made. If they don’t do it, some other network or streaming service is going to beat them to the punch and do a show focusing on hate crimes. It is a show that needs to be made. It wouldn’t be a show without gruesome content. But it could be a medical drama that talks about it from time to time. While I haven’t seen all of the current season of Grey’s Anatomy, I would think that they could do a good episode focusing on the serious topic of someone being treated for having been the victim of a hate crime. I wouldn’t know just how many people would watch or want to see a show like it. But it needs to be made so that people will know.
