I found it to be extremely eerie given it aired circa 2018 before COVID and yet. Especially the "Prime" world and the events with the "flu".

Haven't but I've heard good things about it, and that it was another victim of the woke. It was doing fine in viewers but Starz management didn't like it because it was "too male".
Yep. First season was good, then it got pozzed.
Agreed. Although the female villain terrorist leader was remarkably creepy, and seeing her… Moral misgivings, later on, was interesting…
Hell, I think the “moral struggle” of most characters, later on, made Series 2, while certainly less good, an interesting exploration of the psychological consequences of “necessary” violence, deceit and extremism… 🤷🏻♂️
At least that’s how I felt about it!
And the Iranian chick who played Quill’s wife (Laura, was it?) is very attractive, too, so that helped, lol!
Scratch that, I just looked her up again. Nazanin Boniadi, for the curious. Very doesn’t do her Justice. She would have to be one of the most attractive early 40s women I have ever seen. So if that, I uhh, incentivizes some people to wanna watch, then good, I guess, lol!
Yup!
Pretty good series, though I think it… Declined a bit, later on.
But yes, I felt that way, too, watching reruns of Series 2 towards the start of this whole shitshow… 😑
Also, 12 Monkeys (the original movie, by Gilliam) has some eerily prescient warnings in it, for us lot, about these things, too... And that's a fair bit older. :-/
It's funny how we were made out to be "Alpha", when really, our reality was always heading for something more like "Prime"...
It does worry me that something akin to post-virus "Prime" could well be where our future is headed, OP. It really does... :-/
