Top review

2/10

There's filler episodes and waste of time episodes.

This is the latter. It's a waste of an hour. Truly boring. Story isn't advanced in anyway really and there was a length sedgement featuring the black gods all discussing how the world is so bad and it's all the white mans fault. If the show continues in this vein I'll stop watching it.
