I started watching this, expecting very little, expecting to have it waste few hours of my life, before I give up entirely on it. But then I saw a scene where character discovers that on every leaf, there's a logo printed. There are sometimes such moments in tv shows, they just grab you, but this one, this one kept bringing it!
They keep showing ill after ill of capitalism, but they steer clear of typical communist jargon that ppl today either don't understand, much like they don't understand when economists speak, or are trained to fear, and instead shows you everything that is wrong with the world we're all forced to live in (I was born in a communist country, when I was 18, we were bombed out of communism into this... this inhumane thing that we call capitalism, that's why I say, we're forced into this life, we sure didn't choose this)...
odd thing is that they keep building onto this, they don't just do one thing, one and done, no, they keep adding new critiques, new insights. They eventually focus on the current american society, where they have a guy who acts as a humanitarian, as someone who cares for the wretched masses, he sells his actions as "helping" the poor, but he's actually doing the complete opposite - from my personal observation, this is basically all elites do, exploitation on steroids, but all packaged as care
very poignant. I'm surprised that some ppl have commented how this is not very deep... how can you watch this and miss it, it's very much in your face.
