Homecoming (TV Series)

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
    • Also dodging questions / stereotpyic "politician talk"
• 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 (mainly in the corperate buildings' design) 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
• Also does lots of the "n a t u r a l t h e r e f o r a u t o m a t i c a l l y good/safe" marketing diolouge of the neo-hippie / insincire hippy ad style
  • This is contrasted by the blatant examples, and parallels to, the usa opiod epidemic
    • For instance the "magic plant" type feedstock is rainbow painted opium poppies
• 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
