It is mostly radlib anti-capitalism, and there is a huge recession and a lot of bailouts for E-Corp after their heist. So, I believe that it is season 2 and 3 where several characters are starting to say things like "maybe overthrowing capitalism and revolution are misguided". But if you just want a character based drama with a lot of twists, it is not bad.
That's really disappointing to hear. I'll still probably watch it but the first episode gives heavy revolutionary vibes, no? I mean he's literally just ripping apart capitalist society and the drones it produces lol
It's more like adventurism. Yankee productions have this idea of "revolution" that is basically "step 1: independently sabotage one specific critical bit of the government, step 2: ???, step 3: communism". It's funny that Ecorp is a bit of a shorthand for corporations like Amazon, but Amazon bought exclusive rights for online distribution of the series, which I bet impacted the writing. But you can finish the first season, it remains good until the finale or so.
