Hey, everybody, it's Alex Aldea.
I'm one of the creators of darkest night, and for the last three and a half months, I've been working on a project called the Oyster.
I'm incredibly proud of this show.
It features an all star cast, including Logan Browning from Dear White people, Mama Duatie, Carlo Gugino, Giancarlo Esposito, Keith David, Andrew Santino, and so many others.
And we're going to play the first episode for you right now.
Enjoy.
It is November 13, 2050, and today, Atlanta is the last major american metropolis to face the sorting.
For the next 24 hours, residents of the city will be waiting in their homes for officials to unveil their score, revealing whether or not they have a future waiting for them in New Eden.
In downtown Atlanta, protestors are currently flooding the streets with cries against systemic injustice.
I can't listen to any more of that.
Can we try and have a nice dinner?
It's been a long time, this world, since things have been nice.
Dad, come on.
We can try.
You mean we could try to pretend?
Do you know what I heard today?
Micah, please.
They're only letting 80% of the population underground.
We know.
And you know what percentage they think will be black?
