I'm really intrigued with the gentrification storyline, which is both relevant and also I think it's being used as a metaphor for racial representation in media too.

Meanwhile, the powers that be may have fucked up by casting a woman and a Black man to replace Carey and McDonough, because neither is fully a part of white patriarchy and thus aren't going to be as complicit in the cover up this time. (They were presumably naive pawns when first cast on the show.)

It's good to see Johnny didn't kill (or even shoot) McDonough.

Has Johnny been trapped in the videogame all this time??? It's implied that's where the Chinatown murder victims go, and I think McDonough's time away was also spent inside the game. Is this a Tron situation????
