With fiction people see what they want to see. Maybe that's in part a product of the destruction of media literacy both functionally and ideologically ("the curtains are blue!"), and it's partially the fact that writers are libs and even when they're writing something ostensibly anti-imperialist they can't help but code their fictional Empire with aspects of The Other as the real-world empire depicts them, but regardless of the reason the end result in our current moment is that satire and critique will never change anyone's mind about anything.
The best you can hope for is to already be on a journey towards anti-imperialism for other reasons, and to connect with a show about it because it makes those concepts seem a lot more clear.
This is why I have taken to mostly watching stuff actually made in the Socialist bloc. The DDR made most of the actual best anti-fascist works of fiction
