As a kid I watched the PBS show Ghost Writer, but on TVO. Now my kid is starting to watch it, and, uh.

Wow it's better than I remember.

It is better at talking about race in America than any show I've seen, and it does *the fucking work* to make sure its kids feel like kids but also never once talk down to a kid.

I honestly wonder if, as a show, radicalized me into the person I am.

My wife who has never seen any episode is so fucking invested we've watched some episodes while the kids were asleep.

Thinking about it, my final answer is that Ghost Writer is a show about teaching kids to seek justice, in an unjust world. They don't call the world unjust, but present the world as it is.
