This series aired a few weeks ago in Japan. I watched all of it but it left a bad taste: there was clear reluctance to cite positives of America (I briefly wondered if it were a Canadian production), but “faith,” especially religious, was a recurring and generally positively portrayed and employed (if occasionally misunderstood) theme. You should have mentioned, however, that he concludes the series by stating that he himself is an immigrant. He doesn’t explain “immigrant,” however: naturalized US citizen, permanent resident, or something else?
