Just watched this episode an hour ago, and that scene really got me. Upload is a surprisingly good series.

The irony of a hilariously anti-consumerist lampoon of Amazon being aired on Amazon Prime was not lost on me for this episode

What about Severance on Apple TV? That one really got me too.

Literally about sweatshop type conditions, from the company that has to put antisuicide nettings around their factories.

It has seemed increasingly difficult to find a capitalist not striving to be one of the "good capitalists".

You call it irony.

I call it late-stage capitalism.

How’s season 3? I enjoyed the first one but it lost me by the end of the second.

I like the new season, it's less serious, but still continues the story where it ended. I really like that they keep things kind of real, how it actually could look like in the future.

its been good. I think season 2 got a bit dramatic wereas season 3 is focused more on the satire and comedy. the episode they are talking about has been the best one to me.

I just finished a project on Friday and my new boss thanked me and complemented me in front of the company owner. I was so unused to it I thought he was mocking me.
