The show is corny, but I mean it's basically a musical. So I feel like that comes with the territory. What gets me is the subtle messaging. Which gets really bad in episode 3.
It's got a clearly liberal message, that's not really rooted in reality.
Peaceful versus violent protest. It puts an emphasis on how impactful peaceful protests are, which is a lie. Proof? The American military budget and the militarizing of police across America.
Even in the show, the sit in and stomping don't do anything. It's the sacrifice and poor deal making of Moore Times. Which side note, very jk Rowling of a name. Him cutting a deal is what gets Bodhi released. Which is how capitalism functions.
Furthermore the poor understanding of the relationship between art and communism/socialism is wild. This society is clearly supposed to invoke a communist state, yet it's under capitalism everything is commodified. From free time to art.
How many legal debates has America had on the nature of art? When freedom of speech is our first amendment.
Anyways, shows ok. Interesting concept just wanted to complain about the liberal messaging. I like the balance between storytelling and musical performance. It's pretty solid. Idk if I could have dealt with like constant singing. That would have gotten to me.
Gonna finish watching it now. Just pay more attention to what you consume.
