Basically.

From the first episode and on..

I think it does a good job of illustrating this reality. That that privilege many allegedly well-intentioned and liberal-minded white and non-Black people may claim they have in check can easily come out when one's back is up against the wall. Also, it shows how morality is intertwined with privilege as well.

My prediction (probably way off) is for Michael to die and for Adam to end up slowly walking into prison scared as shit while the other inmates are banging on bars in a classic "fresh fish" type scene.
