Season 1:
Barkley sets off on a heartfelt journey across America to discuss race, beginning in Baltimore, Md., a city central to the Black Lives Matter movement, where he embeds with the community and police in Baltimore.
With America still reeling from Trump's immigration ban and anti-Muslim sentiment, Barkley heads to Irving, Texas, a city in turmoil in the wake of a local ordinance banning "foreign laws" and armed protests against the local mosque.
Barkley travels to Los Angeles, where he discusses racial stereotypes with consumers and industry professionals, including Korean-American rapper Dumbfoundead and artist-entrepreneur Ice Cube. Barkley also visits with improv legends The Upright Citizens Brigade.
Barkley heads to Atlanta, where he meets undocumented residents and civic leaders who use social media to organize their opposition to immigration policies. He gets an audience with C.T. Vivian, a legend of the civil rights movement.
