    Why is the Statue of Liberty making what is clearly just an awkward hand gesture and nothing more?

    First season was astounding, powerful, alarming, and interesting. Second season, it is obvious they fired the wriiter who was the showrunner and ended up making the entire second season forgettable.

      I haven’t watched any of it yet. Would you say that it’s worth just watching the first series and forgetting the second, or does the second series wrap up some story lines ?

        The 4 seasons are worth watching. Most of it is actually really good, but it does get weird in the last season.

        Okay, so here’s the deal. This show should’ve had 5 seasons, not 4. Everything up till the middle point of season 4 is AMAZING. After that, they have really rushed it n made it quite illogical.

        The ending is underwhelming. That being said, I would highly recommend u to watch it. The story’s just really really good. Certain twists and payoffs are veeeery fascinating. Highly recommended!

      It’s based on a Philip K. Dick novel, but I didn’t watch more than a few episodes so I can’t really say how much it strays from the book.

          But they’re a slave race that gets denied personhood despite being literally physically identical to biological humans by a mega corp that has destroyed the planet(s) (humanity has space colonies but it doesn’t really come up) and has taken on the power of the state?

    I didn’t realize before that the show had a statue of Elon Musk.

    I really wish this show and book were just fiction rather than sci-fi.

      The US is currently closer than ever before. Time will tell how far that is.

        Segregation, slavery, and Manifest Destiny? When it was a literal patriarchy on top of all three?

        First time in living memory perhaps.

      There are whole sections of the story that show American suburbia as it would have been known in the 1960s, except with Nazis. Churches are repurposed to worship the state rather than a god, but are otherwise unchanged in their layout or services. When the Nazis took over, they found plenty of people willing, even eager, to collaborate.

      The whole point is that America was never that far from fascism to begin with.

      Maybe im really in a bubble and reading the wrong articles, but im seeing nazi salutes to the flag, and companies are allowed to fire non-whites.

        The first thing the Nazis did after getting dictatorial powers (Ermächtigungsgesetz) was arrest every social democrat and other leftist and put them in camps.

        Nothing of the sort is happening in the USA. Trump doesn’t have dictator powers for starters and won’t get them.

        companies are allowed to fire non-whites

        The courts are still around and will have a say on that.

        Trump‘s US is bad, but far from Nazi Germany. Trump‘s US is extremely unlikely to even return to being as racist as the US was in the 1930-490s.
