2. His mother and father have separated, and they live in different apartments in the same building that Willis lives in. (Chapter 1)

3. The show is called Black and White. A “black and white” is a police car because of its traditional colors, but this is also a reference to the show’s stars, two police partners—one Black partner, one white partner. “Black and white” is also a way of describing a situation that lacks nuance, which is a good description of this show’s approach.
