.... 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.
I avoided it for that same reason, just thought it was a prison show where they repeat the same thing season after season. Sorry I missed it.
Yeah, it's more I'd say political intrigue, but there is a lot of prison stuff, but it's really good, I'd give it a watch
