.... when I first watched this show back when I considered myself a normy, I thought everything in the show was outlandish, the government doing surgery to change appearance, secret service just killing people to cover things up, framing people, people who are dead but aren't, murder of political enemies....etc I would actually laugh at how outlandish it all was and how evil the female president was and this "company" that controlled everything.
Now watching it again.... I don't think it goes far enough.... and is probably pretty damn spot on... crazy.
This was my favorite show before Breaking Bad came out. I agree! It all seems too normal and predictable now, but back then I thought it was really reaching and possibly beyond reality.
Separately, if you liked those, check out Patriot on Amazon Prime. Show was from 2017ish.
Yeah Breaking Bad is my number one, then Prison Break and then maybe Lost the first few seasons
