Hasaan Has Portland Looking Funny in the Light
Briefly

The show critiques the often misguided attempts of progressive action that misguidedly treat marginalized individuals as nuisances instead of considering their agency.
Hasaan's experiences expose the disconnect between well-meaning intentions of activists and the actual needs and desires of the community they claim to help.
In a predominantly white city, Hasaan's identity becomes a lens to explore the gaps between theoretical understanding of social justice and on-the-ground realities.
By framing episodes as video game levels, the series cleverly highlights the absurdity and obstacles present in seemingly mundane daily life for a Black man.
