An USAin is traveling in a socialist country and has a mental/physical breakdown related to work stress and poor diet/health issues. They are admitted to a mental health facility, and they initially believe they are being forcibly being re-educated and/or other red scare nonsense.

The show would be part psyche thriller (USAin perspective), medical procedural for the socialist medical workers, with maybe some mockumentary elements for added comedy.

The staff would be trying to figure things out and repeatedly dumbfounded by the lab results. Microplastics and PFAS well beyond known limits, etc.

Eventually the USAin starts to get better and appreciate the socialist society and medical care.

Meanwhile their family/partner still thinks they are kidnapped/imprisoned. End of season would involve a standoff with US military "rescue operation" being planned. Perhaps the military shows up, but they no longer want to go back to USA.

Anyway, just a funny idea for a story that would depict the reality of hell world via contrast with a socialist society.

With the tiktok and redbook stuff, this might be pretty on-trend currently.
