Anyone watch/read it? Seems like Feminist Horror preying on liberal fear. Any other takes?

It's meant to be a screed of conservatism and how awful it would be if American born-again Christian conservatives took over the country. But the funny thing is women are more closely to be treated like that today in the Muslim world than the USA. But the creators will go ahead and continue make white, American males the boogeyman.
