Episode 1

Grayson begins in the American South, where he tackles race - arguably the oldest and most intractable division in the US. Travelling from Atlanta, Georgia, to Washington, DC, he explores older ideas of African American success with members of the so-called `black elite" and reflects on the issue of white privilege.

Episode 2

In the second episode, Grayson takes a bike trip down the relatively prosperous East Coast of the US, from the liberal holiday playground of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, to a 'woke" enclave of Brooklyn, he explores issues of social class, economic opportunity and access to education, and tries to understand how America's liberals now view their own country.

Episode 3

Grayson travels through the swing state of Wisconsin in the American Midwest - a predominantly white and predominantly rural location, and one of the states that gave President Trump his victory in 2016. He finds a state that is increasingly bitterly divided over identity politics and hot-button cultural issues like abortion and vaccination. Why are these `culture wars" happening, asks Grayson, and what might help to overcome the divisions? To conclude the series, Grayson makes a map of the American culture wars, one which has strong implications for our own cultural and political divisions in the UK.
