It explored issues of race, nationalism, civil rights, contemporary media, and how athletes are marketed to the world. These three, forty-minute episodes paint a picture of a young woman who is shy, willfully intelligent, and painfully perceptive as she struggles with an unexpected onslaught of fame and success. It’s also one of the strongest seasons yet for Osaka.
