One Dollar (2018)
3/10
The series started with a mildly interesting first episode, but as the rest of the cast slowly got their airtime, my hopes started to dwindle.

Warning: Spoilers
The story/back story of most characters is not at all believable. For example, the feminine male police chief is not at all "interesting," the bad guy/good guy that seems like he is on the verge of stress-crying (is he doing that on purpose?) every time things don't go right. Then you have the obligatory KKK/white supremacists (the staple of most shows these days) that aren't very convincing. And they don't have to be, they just have to be present to remind everyone that "they" are out there. Then there is a first-grade teacher in her 60s, teaching all of her life, who swats a hyperactive kid in the rear, one she has taught for at least a year, after she gets frustrated that he won't sit down and listen. First time in her career and she is so disturbed that she talks about retiring. But, the kid is black so we must now talk about "unconscious bias." (This same kid that ran up and hugged her earlier in the episode and got a warm welcome from the father.) I'm thinking, if she swatted him because she is unconsciously racist, wouldn't she have been swatting kids her whole career? Or, is this really the first black and/or hyperactive child she's come across? Come on man.

And the previews for episode four only confirmed the show will soon be doing the same old SJW/PC shuffle many other (now canceled) shows have done. They are getting smarter with the propaganda, though, because at least they waited until the third episode to sneak it in.So-so, ok start instantly eroded by SJW/PC tripe.
