Lobby Hero Analysis

I enjoyed Lobby Hero. Although, I am a big fan of Michael Cera so I may be somewhat biased. The show asks you to examine many ethical questions. It makes you think about what you put first.

He holds his power over Dawn when he threatens her and takes breaks from his job for social visits to lady friends. William is youngish black man in charge of security at the apartment building.
