Trivia
The graphic novel version was written in 1977, that was the height of the Black Revolutionary movement, and the push for the advancement of civil rights for all oppressed minorities, which was a cause for concern for certain factions of the Federal Government like the FBI, Federal Bureau of Investigation, which launched an investigation into these "subversive" movements via COINTELPRO, or Counter Intelligence Program, which the Bureau perceived was going to tear the country apart . It was this sentiment which the writers tried to convey, when Gambi stated "... make them passive and keep them docile in what was a very politically-explosive environment"

I liked the show for the first season and part of the second,but the writers are not so good,people who get killed are constantly brought back to life(typical CW nonsense) and the characters constantly make bad decisions,stupid even. The youngest daughter is the guiltiest of this annoying habit and she keeps getting worse.
