    This is just Prime Video and Apple TV. Fallout and Severance are great shows that shit on capitalism, but they’re made by two of the most capitalist companies out there.

      Better Off Ted is probably my favorite TV show in terms of poking fun at corporate culture. Not only was it prematurely canceled, but the last three (or so) episodes never aired. They eventually released on DVD, so at least they’re not lost media or anything, but it makes me wonder if someone just really wanted that show off the air.

      EDIT: As an example, these fake “commercials” were interspersed throughout the episodes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF3of5VRcNA

      EDIT 2: May as well post these random jokes from the series

        Awesome show. Another show I liked, but with a different tone, was Corporate. They had some amazing episodes in their 3 seasons.

        I loved that show.

        “Your white guy does all that stuff for you?”

        “Yeah. He’s great.”

        “Can we trade white guys?”

        Side splitting gags in the middle of a pretty solid message about how technology can systemicly abuse people.

        “Apparently if we continued with our hiring plan, we would end up employing the sum total of humanity, and I guess doing that is illegal in some of the countries Viridian operates in, so they had to give in and actually fix the problem.”

      Yuuup. And this is why amazon and apple don’t get any of my currency units.

      Don’t forget Andor. Possibly the strongest piece of leftist media in a long time, and made by Disney of all things.
