Late to the party on this show, but I just finished it. It’s so good at showing a believable, gradual descent into fascism. I guess it helps that actual reality looks a bit like this now, so I have a model for it to compare. The phone call between Seldon and Bess at the end stabbed me in the loving heart, and I wasn’t prepared for how impactful it would be. That and Herman’s drive to Kentucky to get him was just pure nightmare, the Klan chilling next to burning buildings with their masks up. Ugh, what a depressing show. It also succeeds at something that most politically-critical media about Trump fails to convey, which is that you can’t isolate racist toxicity to a particular person or administration...the damage is already done no matter who wins the election, because that toxicity is and was out there. Those Klansmen were already there. The people at Charlottesville will still exist by the thousands, no matter what happens in November. You can’t simply kill Hitler to stop the Nazis.
