Are there any progressive checkboxes that this series doesn't tick?


I really miss the days of normal TV shows starring normal people.
If this show is really what the left really believes will happen if Trump gets re-elected then that explains their "chicken little" mindset.

Media and technology are weapons of social control. You are being controlled. Unplug from the Matrix.

go to youtube and search for the "walkaway" channel and watch some of the testimonials to see people that have "unplugged from The Matrix"

Normal people have been cancelled.

There are quite a few checkboxes ticked but the show it's quite good and they manage to not make it too woke as to become unwatchable ...

You're kidding, right? The people in the story are quite normal and relatable, including the working-class woman seduced by the populist political leader. This certainly isn't a "progressive checkbox ticking" exercise. Apart from the fact that the whole transhumanism storyline could be read as mockery of transgenderism (though the authors will obviously deny that), consider the way that the show has a consistently negative portrayal of radical left movements. The radical left come to power in Ukraine and persecute gay people. The radical left come to power in Spain later on in the story and persecute refugees. And if I recall correctly, Celeste (who is black) voted Conservative in the general election, contrary to progressive orthodoxy.

These chat sites are so full of poo. They are just a place where a bunch of right-wing troll-bots come to set the agenda of fear, hate, lies and make it seem like there are more of them than there are of us.

Well surprise, surprise, it's happening without Trump getting re-elected.

Are there any movie ever at all that regressive don't complain about?

This series had little to do with Trump except as a background to the Emma Thompson character.

You guys are so super-sensitive to have Trump getting called out for his many failures, that you have to constantly make up stuff about Biden like he wants to take away your hamburgers ... stuff so ridiculous, and complain like the snowflake-word you always use at the left.

If you condense down the stuff that makes sense from the right you'd probably have less than 1% of the comments here on the side of the right. That would compare not so favorably to about 50% of the left comments that are unacceptable for one reason or another.

So what? Why don't you just come out and say you don't like to see people get justice or freedom instead of whining about progressive checkboxes ... how silly.
