This show really needed to be tightened up. At 60 minutes I think I would've felt more positively about it than at 85.

This show takes place in a dystopian Canada where Doug Ford is Prime Minister. It pokes a lot of fun at his Conservative style politics, but seems like that's about all it does. The whole thing felt more like a gentle teasing of surface level things like Buck a Beer and swallowing a bee.

Where it felt confused to me was the main characters, obviously portrayed as Conservatives, both performed these same politics and yet opposed it because clearly the show was written as a critique of these politics. To me it felt like they couldn't decide whether to commit to making it a show about portraying right wing politics in a satirical way by making the characters unapologetic Conservatives contributing to the problem, like Succession, or making the characters openly condemn these types of politics.

You'll probably chuckle watching the show, but it's really not much deeper than that which is a shame given the show's description feels like it's setting you up for a show about late-stage capitalism and a member of the bourgeoise learning what it's like to survive as a proletariat.

Also, the twist was completely random and I really am not sure where it factors into any of the story.
