So this episode, the writers tried to deal with racism that is against Asians Americans bc of COVID. Important subject but failed attempt. It's not the first time NCIS LA dealt with social issues, only they used to do it better, not giving us the feeling we are getting lectures or preached. We usually had a scene With hetty and other team member that talked about the larger issue than the current mission and that gave us the statement the writers wanted to address only in subtle and made us want to listen. This episode everything felt we are getting lectures on how there is a thing called racism and how things are wrong. Deeks even mentions to us how this is not America he loves, like where he has been the last 5 years!! When there was hate against Jews, Latinos Afro Americans etc' with people dying. That line was awful bc his team dealt with white supremacy before ,so he knows this is happening not just now.
The emotions they tried to give us didn't work because it felt they were over trying. The only good scene I liked was with Kilbride explaining to agent Rountree why he took the case with mentioning the days of WW2 and the arrest of Japanese Americans. That was good link between then and now.
