From the start of production, many writers clashed with Greg Spottiswood, over how he handled race and gender

Sounds like a rotting hell of a racist workplace. Toxic as fuck.

How fucking stupid, just fire Greg Spottiswood!! Fucking white men always getting a million "second" chances.

She spilled:

Ms. Edwards said that, in her view, Mr. Spottiswood had been allowed to remain in charge of All Rise because his approach to race was a fit for CBS.

“He makes race palatable for a CBS audience and the CBS brass, because he doesn’t know anything about it,” she said. “So there is this strange tone of nothing being said, but the visual representation is there. It’s safe, and it’s empty. All the reality is absent.”

Ooof, should I hold off on marathoning it?

Also, were any of yall disappointed that future GLAAD-award winning show, We the People, was cancelled?

Apparently britt robertson is bad luck, but idk her and she was cute on the show.

I really fucking loved it. Esp when it started getting gay :'(

*For the People, lol

I enjoyed it, but it was lucky to even get a 2nd season. And yep, Britt is TV poison.

lol, ty.

I really really loved the premise tho. esp if we had more of the prosecutors reckon with their role in the criminal justice system.

would be really timely rn imo.

what do you think, Tired Brit?
