The only people who really dislike the second season are white people. People got mad that they moved it out of the hood. And look, there might be an element that the character is annoying, but there’s that feeling of familiarity too. That the blue collar worker might hit a little close to home rather than the projects of East Baltimore. Ziggy is more like a family member you might have; there’s not this cognitive dissonance. You’re much more likely to know someone like Ziggy than to know someone like Omar. And Ziggy is a very castrated white male. And when people see that there’s no room for social mobility, I think it reflects back on themselves: their own delusions about their own social mobility. Perhaps the best critique of white privilege (especially hipster privilege) EVER—and coming from Ziggy! Havent seen all the seasons (just 1 and 2), but lets just say Season 2 was as brilliant and brave a dramatization of post-industrial America Ive ever seen. And didnt even begin to scratch the surface of what goes on in the docks—and didnt even touch on the trucking industry...
