Interesting mystery ruined by politics

[avnrulz · 7/10 · 14 August 2023]

Okay, it's the story of a teen girl murdered by someone 25 years ago, whose murder is still unsolved. A cold case detective with his own personal problems has become fixated on it and is determined to solve it, though opening scabs over old wounds has resurrected old ghosts. We see our main characters as they were and as they are now (though looking way too young for their supposed age (18 + 25 = 43) in the present), and whether they achieved anything they strove for in their 'letters to their future selves'.

The family of the victim, shown in present day, is still reeling under the affects of the murder, but the cramming in of the 'BLM' politics spoils it, having seen that they (BLM) are (a) a hate group (chanting 'pigs in a blanket' way back in 2016) and a (b) political scam (the founder using the collected funds to buy several high priced mansions and pay off family members as 'employees').

Leave the egregious politics out of it and 'keep it local'.

Politics Doesn't Ruin This

I'm a black woman. I know well the disappointing and ironic hypocrisy of BLM leaders buy mansions and moving away from the people they are supposed to help. So many young people all over the world connected with movement because surprise there are black people all over the world with histories with similar ancestral trauma. The young people's mention of world events is relevant not shoved in as other criticism assert.

This story doesn't let up from the emotional pain of the loss of their daughter/sister/aunt. The characters are not driven by random events in the past but choices they've already made. This serves to feel like this story is all encompassing and deep. The male lead character also has an mysterious back story, and I want to follow him as he solves more cold cases. Hopefully we can have a great anthology like like Netflix's, Sinner.
