in 2018, the USA Network/Netflix put out 1 season of a show titled Damnation, about a man trying to organize an insurrection in early 1930s of indebted farm communities against bankers, industrialists, and their thugs in law enforcement + Pinkerton's. it pulls zero punches and was cancelled after one season.
even so, it's incredible that the first season was made and distributed. it's like a combo of Steinbeck and a violent Western, with elements of corporate conspiracy at the national level.
Hot, damn! I'm 2 eps in and it's amazing this exists!😍 Thanks!
awesome, I loved it. there isn't much for scenes or clips on YouTube, like it went deep under the radar. there's a fairly campy promo trailer up there and the comments are full of people insisting it's extremely underrated and furious that it got cancelled when so much junk on Netflix gets renewed. I don't even think the fan base is necessarily leftist, but the themes resonated it seems.
and I'll be damned if the writers didn't do some homework about the history of the midwest during the American labor wars, which is some history that is never told anymore.
I wanna tell everyone about this. It pushes all my buttons. This should be the official show of antiwork. My mind is blown, I'm gonna be so pissed when I get to the end.
