The Good: The scenes with Pops, Audrey, and the Lieutenant show how white people can be warm and collegial with Black people on the surface, but harbor anti-Black sentiments on the low. Guirgis also did a great job of showing how Black cops will never be a part of the Fraternity of the Thin Blue Line, regardless of how many years they've served. I also loved the reveal at the end when Pops gives Audrey's ring to Church Lady.
The Bad: Guirgis is not good at writing women of color, at least in this particular play. The first time we see Lulu, Pops is slut-shaming her for wearing short shorts, and her characterization does not rise beyond the place of being vapid but sweet. Church Lady is a grifter whose big moment in the play is the "sexual healing" scene. Characters like Audrey and Oswaldo are given richer backstories that elevate their characters above punchlines.
