I gutted out that series a while ago and was surprised by the conspirators forms and identities, too. Very much agree it was a Team B appeal for a comfy neocon security state with a Gentile face on it. This is drivel for the "Vivek is a Real American" crowd.

Excellent descriptor. The only reason I find it notable is that it's the first hybrid outreach attempt I've seen to date (caveat: I don't get broadcast TeeVee, nor would I bother)

I could swear there was a movie 20 or more years ago that started this way—with traffic gridlock because of a cyberattack—but I can’t find it. Same beige, unflavored ice-milk subtext. Grok could not find it for me.

The one I’m thinking of gave me a Sandra Bullock The Net feeling—that is, completely hackneyed.

Thanks for taking the hit for us, Karl.

The standard answer is always more government.

I am having a tough time finding any good screen media produced after 2010 although gems emerge like "Hostiles" and "Sound of Freedom".

What makes this interesting is that the finding was the opposite of that sentiment.

Like I said, Team B
