The USC professor, who is the director of the Institute for Diversity and Empowerment at USC s Annenberg School of Communication, feared that the drama would contain disturbing images of violence and brutality toward Black people, echoing scenes in HBO s Watchmen and Lovecraft Country and other recent projects that mashed up the troubled history of racial turmoil in America with genre elements. His concerns were underscored when a social media uproar erupted soon after the show s premiere earlier this month.
