3.0

Interesting premise that is like being stuck inside the brain of a white person with severe colourblindess and jealousy. Some plot lines felt a bit disconnected, such as, the SA recount and how that drove the narrative forward. Overall, the commentary idea was good, yet being stuck inside a white persons perspective was a lot to sit through and felt the story dragged on at times.
