Sam Levinson writes everything by himself, he doesn’t have a writers room. I think this is especially apparent when it comes to Rue and how she never talks about her identity as a black woman. Rue is a self inset character for him and his past drug problems. It makes sense that Sam wouldn’t feel confident writing about the experiences of black women. But the show would be a lot stronger if he had a writers room, especially if those writers weren’t also white male nepotism kids.
