'The Passage' Season 1 puts the final nail in the whitewashing coffin and addresses real social issues
'The Passage' gives a hearty middle finger to the concept of whitewashing characters and highlights the issue of criminals and young orphans being considered 2nd class citizens
Fox's upcoming show, 'The Passage,' dabbles in a lot of things. Based on Justin Cronin's novel of the same name, 'The Passage' tells the story of a young girl's survival in an apocalyptic world plagued by destruction and a dangerous virus that could turn humans into vampires.
At its finest, 'The Passage' is a wonderful simplistic amalgamation of two of the most popular genres of our times - science fiction, and the supernatural. But what the show also attempts to discuss are some relevant social issues from today's world. In its own simple manner, 'The Passage' gives a hearty middle finger to the concept of whitewashing characters on screen and also highlights the issue of criminals and young orphans being considered second class citizens.
