Season 1 Episode Guide
Episode 1 - The New KKKA club known for hatred, violence and bigotry was once a thriving organization in the United States, but as times gone on, we've thankfully seen a steady decline in numbers over the years. Unfortunately, there are people looking to change that and claim to have a new message about white pride. Kamau Bell wanted to see firsthand who these men and women are. |
Episode 2 - Is it Cool to be Hip?Some would say that the story of gentrification is the story of America. One group of people live in one place and another wealthier group moves in and forces the other group out. Nowadays, one telltale sign that gentrification is happening to your city is pretty simple: Have hipsters moved there yet? Portland, Oregon is one such place and is seen by many as the mecca of the hipster lifestyle. |

Episode 5 - The Fountain of YouthIn a nation obsessed with looking and feeling young, there seems to be no better place to study this behavior then the state of Florida.

Episode 6 - Off the GridIn a world that's becoming more connected by the day and dependence on technology leaves people scrambling when their wifi goes down, sometimes you need to get back to the basics. This week, Kamau Bell does just that as he cuts the cord and heads off the grid to meet the people who're happily living a life on their own terms. |
Episode 7 - Protect and Serve?Some would say that there's a crisis in our country. A crisis between the police and the citizens who look to them for protection. With countless incidents showing police brutality against unarmed citizens, people are taking to the streets looking for real change in how we're policed. |
Episode 8 - Behind the WallsAs the business of prison expands, the amount of prisoners incarcerated in the United States continues to rise at an alarming rate. And while the numbers are alarming, what sometimes gets forgotten is that there are real people behind those numbers. |
