In the series, corporations get a bailout when things get bad, collude to make it worse with profits over people and then basically buy off world governments in a reverse bail out to take control of the system. With a “Corporate Congress” and all people having a “life debt”.
Oh, and the time travel aspect of it is pretty cool too.
I dunno if my politics have changed or my recollection of the show is just hazy, but my first reaction reading the synopsis on IMDb is “Wait, Kiera was a cop?” These days I would certainly be rooting for the “terrorists”. Maybe it was about her learning the truth? Methinks I need to rewatch.

Her views change over time and also with what happens to her.
