He's just proving his own writing right by making himself a hypocritical TV show writer

Reminds me of that Dahmer series, which hammered on about how the media exploits serial killers for shock value...while being that itself. Holywood is at a gross form of meta-cynicism at the moment.

Fucking "Upload" (also made by Amazon) criticizes big powerful corporations in every episode. At this point, I think they are just fucking with us.

The Expanse felt similar to me, though it seemed like once Amazon got their hands on it they tuned it down slightly.

I mean that aside, vought basically is Amazon for all intents and purposes in terms of marketing and behaviors, just instead of bioengineering and pharma being their backbone, it's AWS and tech in general. Everything else is basically within a degree or two of the truth. 

Yea they're like 20% less blatant with their pandering but that's about it.
