Kanye West is gearing up to drop a new album, but his reputation has fallen dramatically in recent years as he’s embraced MAGA politics, conspiracy theories and anti-semitic rhetoric.

As the second season comes to a close, we discuss why some viewers are divided by the show, and what it gets right – and wrong – about that time period.
