Sounds like right wing porn.
it's actually a really great conspiracy thriller. I'd fully recommend it. I'm sure right wing weirdos could read too much into it and find a message they agree with, but they do that with everything anyways.
I didn't find it overtly political beyond money = corruption = shady people being able to get away with shady stuff
If anything it'd probably annoy right wingers because it vocally blames humanity for environmental disaster.
Yeah I'm sure someone who doesn't think much could definitely watch the show and come away thinking vaccines are dangerous, but that's not the angle it pulls. It relies on there being only one vaccine manufacturer, that everybody takes it, and that nobody outside the scheme actually tests the vaccine.
Of course in the real world multiple companies manufacture the same vaccine and they're tested by numerous organisations, so it falls apart pretty quickly.
Still a good show though.
It's a do cu mentsry, honey
/S
"Right wing" is pretty unhelpful as a description here, do you mean the Brexity types who "don't trust experts" and wouldn't touch a vaccine because Darren's mum's dog's friend's cleaner took one and still got ill, or the stuffy old Tories who just want things to go back to how they used to be and pay less tax on their generational wealth who will do as the government tells them?
