What's the issue with POC as the lead actor?

Lets just hope netflix picks this series up because with only AMC as target audience it fails.

I do agree with most of what you said. I don't agree with the thing about skin color, it has nothing to do with anything. But I guess it's a typical American argument? Europeans usually don't care about it, and if race is a factor for viewer pleasure, you really need to reassess yourselves in my opinion.<br /> <br /> But ok, onward.<br /> <br /> The success of a show is not just about the actor - in this case in my opinion he's not stellar, but he's still doing an ok job - it can also be about everything else. The reason I'm not enjoying this series is because of everything else: the fights contain weird camera angles and scene cuts that make it hard to keep track of what's going on. This is worsened by what the portion they don't cut out: allowing the viewer to play "guess where the ropes were."<br /> <br /> The sound effects are horrible. The story draws on cliches that were masked with some cheesy elements, like the swords and motor cycles.<br /> <br /> But the one thing that annoys me the most is "disposable human beings." You know, where everyone gets killed by good guys who don't blink twice. Kill, next, kill, next. When shows don't fight to the easy death, but care about life, scenes usually get better and story lines get more intriguing.<br /> <br /> I've only watched two episodes, but the "annoyance to exciting" ratio was approximately 5:1. So I already know this won't be it for me... I'm out.
