I thought the creators did a really great job of showing how sexism and patriarchy sit alongside racism and white supremacy. I thought the way the writers interwove a story about redlining and the supernatural was impressive. None of that is to say that the portrayals of racism are not extremely brutal and hard to watch; there is not a trigger warning large enough for Episode 5. Part of why I recommend watching this series in pieces instead of one sitting is to allow for time to sit with and reflect on that complex intensity.
