It was problematic back then and it's more so now. I think it's a good thing that HBO offers context to it tbh, you've got to acknowledge things like this. It's too culturally significant to be rid of it but you have to approach it knowing it's problematic, I think.

Yeah sure, a disclaimed is all it needs.

This question is obviously a contradiction on terms but were they "nice" slave owners?

From what I remember, yes for the most part, not that it makes it all easier to swallow.
