its a tv miniseries

saw it mentioned in a youtube video by FD signifier, I just finished the first episode, and I enjoyed it a lot, something about needing positive propaganda not just constant commenting on reactionary garbage

      Same. I'm surprised how little people talk about it considering how much of a splash Sorry to Bother You made.

    It's a great show. Really felt like the ultimate slap in the face to Jeff Bezos that his money was being used to fund the production of a show where a character just directly faces the audience, breaks the fourth wall, and starts explaining Marx to them. chefs-kiss

    I loved every episode. I hope there's more. Probably not much more he could say in this story that would be allowed on tv but I hope he tries something
