The subreddit got 50k users within two weeks, it is most watched in some Netflix regions and contains a lot of “steampunk”(?) elements, but remains lib in a lot of places.
If we are the first to condense a critique of it, it might get some traction.
Picture exemplifies part of the userbase.
In the end BIG SPOILER and CW:
The trope evil dissociative identity disorder antihero does an 9/11 against a “liberal” company council that just voted for peace and giving away half their land to ‘The Nation of Zuon’ - links to the nation of Ziom are completely random.

The good and fun of the show made the ideology more painful to me. Pitlover is the liberal techbros dream of a rational society guided by ideas and good speeches (if a charismatic strong independent leader who wants the good pushes for them at least).
There were quite a few good scenes, arches and teary eyes for me, though it isn’t materialist or Marxist in the end.
Imagine how amazing shows could be with that budget if it wasn’t bound so much to a profit oriented company.
