Gutch220 Some of the episodes are interesting in terms of the physical location, but I can sum up every episode; Every non-white person is a helpless victim, every white person is bad (at least a little bit). The show would be more accurate with the title "The White Devil". It's very obvious that the creator(s) are racist in my opinion.
slyflash17 While I appreciate that the show explores multiple sides to salient issues, I can't help but be frustrated by the fact that there were no episodes on Asian Communities in the USA. There's so much for people to learn about in regards how Muslims are tackling Islamaphobia, how East Asians tackle misrepresentation and whitewashing in media, and so much more.This show is alright, but it's nothing comprehensive. If you're going to call a show United Shades of America, you need to capture all the shades...especially the ones almost nobody speaks of.
stefankarlssoncom yet again a very biased review with this guy, as i enjoyed the past productions where both parties got the chance to talk this only let one side talk.he has now become the new slimmer michael moore, no longer funny no longer talented just a jackal catering his own history to new audiences.hint. if you see a documentary that only speaks bad on one side stop watching we're all flawed.
howtogrowgods Having never commented on IMDb, it is an assumption on my part that I will be able to edit this review once the series has actually premiered.I have to wonder why this show has a rating already when it has yet to air. Walter Kamau Bell has never denied that he is a politically polarizing figure, but I don't know what would motivate users to vote down something that they have never seen, and therefore of which they could judge neither the journalistic nor the entertainment value.Perhaps those Klan guys weren't happy with the clip editing.Regarding said clip and related interviews, I think that this show looks promising as an exploration of American diversity, not just ethnically but culturally. If Bell can remain in the role of either calm observer or funny comedian without being overly proselytic towards the audience, it should have pretty broad appeal.
