And as far as this show goes, the comics are not very subtle, so I didn’t expect the show to be, but I get the OP’s point. Like them, I’m also enjoying the show, but when things get too on the nose I do kinda roll my eyes. I don’t know what the balance there is, but I think that’s partially what’s preventing it from entering the realm of shows that get serious award consideration, if that makes sense.
If you have to spell out everything, you’re not giving your audience a whole ton of credit. I liked Don’t Look Up more than most, but that’s the point people were making about that movie (and McKay’s other work), not that it should cater to climate change deniers. It’s why I don’t like Banksy’s art even if I probably agree with 99% of his opinions lol.
