I just finished watching it and as someone who rarely enjoys television shows i think it was amazing and thought provoking. What do you all think?

Also, does anyone know of a place that discusses the show from a marxist perspective? I'm kind of obsessed but would rather not listen to some lib brained shit if I don't have to.

    Helly's outie rejected her plea, everyone was going "Oh my God how heartless, this is clearly proof that she's an Eagan!" That may well have even been the authorial intent, but my reaction to the situation was "Oh of course she said no, she has a slave."

    The innie/outie dichotomy seems like a pretty clear class relation, even if it's mediated through the employer. The innie lives a life of servitude so that the outie doesn't have to. The outies react to the idea that their innies are exploited with incredulity and hostility, denying the plain truth in front of them as parasitic classes always do.
