I’ve heard a lot of high praise but it’s such a weird fucking show. It’s like as if Alex Jones made a TV show with all the cliche conspiracy theories.

I don’t know if I want to continue.

    I don’t really see what it has to do with Alex Jones unless that’s just the only other time you’ve heard of a conspiracy theorist. It’s a show about the deep state and I hate to tell you this but the deep state isn’t just like a right-wing fringe lunatic thing it a) exists and b)has been studied and analyzed by many on the left.

    I give props to the show for putting the postwar US-West German-Japanese fascist axis on Primetime. They have episodes called “Paperclip” and “731”.

    Also a lot of the Monster of the Week episodes explain their paranormal phenomena by talking about actual US programs and history like MKULTRA, testing drugs on troops, testing bio weapons on civilians, etc.

    It’s a goofy, silly show with two young hotties, but it has decent politics.
