“Casting an African-American female to lead the series was a big priority”
==
I’m so old I can remember when making a show people wanted to watch was a “big priority”.
And GOOD WRITING was a priority!
Michael Dukakis’ perfect running mate...(that win well, NOT!)
As soon as shows start making political correctness their primary agenda the quality goes down hill. I expect the Star Wars movies to end up losing popularity as Disney has made them just another modern space action special effects series, nothing special like they use to be.
