I really enjoy the series, too. Lately they’ve been rerunning episodes and I get sucked in, even though I know what is going to happen. It’s that good. They do manage to insert a little leftyism, but it doesn’t spoil it for me. I’m looking forward to Sunday night!
I think they haven’t really been pushing lefty politics that much. Branson is a chip on the shoulder socialist but he comes off as something of a boor.
