None of the "Somalis" look like Somalis or speak like Somalis. Might come as a surprise, but not all black people are the same.

No research done into Somali culture or history

It's disappointing how the program exploited the Somali past to create a story line yet no one bothered to learn anything about Somalia. Had you done a bit of research you would've realised that your whole Somali cast look nothing like Somalis (yes Africans look different). The accent used, not Somali. The clothes the women were wearing....not Somali. Literally the only true Somali thing I saw in the whole episode is the flag. I'm not even Somali and I am livid. I think at this point it would've been best to just make up a country.
Terrible casting (not the swat) story also false and exaggerated

The villain and other crews that were meant to represent the Somali community looks nothing like Somali people. Their accent as well as their looks are west African people. The story about Somali is false. The show was recoded in 2019, there are plenty Somali actors and actresses in the industry and they are telling me they couldn't find even one. Poor casting and Terrible story writing.
Very disappointing

I love the show but this episode really bothered me I'm not even Somali Iam Turkish/Australian but I have friends who are Somali and I noticed right away how none of the cast look anything like Somalis and everything about them seems so mis represented.
Guys at least do some research into the stories your talking about.
