Basics

A series from ~2020
Is on many things but mainly:
- Big Pharma (albeit inflated due to sci-fi ness, and being a VERY complex issue)
- Military Industrial Complex (ditto, also more corruption/ethic side)
- Secrecy in big government and corperate areas (both buzzwords)
- In/Neo sincerity in big government and corperate areas
- Emotional Manipulation in big government and corperate areas ESPECIALLY marketing / psa's / pr
Sort of shows how companies can "loose that spark"
It’s like a gravity assist, if used right it helps significantly to get you where you need to be, if you dip in too far and get sucked in, you crash
It also uses brutalism to relate the authoritarianism of modern capitalism to the authoritarianism of many places that used brutalism (USSR, etc)
The “the giant” aside/monologue (need to grab it)
It also has that political thriller aspect of nearly ALL charachters being two faced, having plots/alterior motives, and thus "can't trust anyone" theme
A good cautionary tale (not outright "don't do that) as OSE goes into marketing, and grows as a company
A lot of this is in end of season 1/all of season 2 fyi
