An USAin is traveling in a socialist country and has a mental/physical breakdown related to work stress and poor diet/health issues. They are admitted to a mental health facility, and they initially believe they are being forcibly being re-educated and/or other red scare nonsense.

The show would be part psyche thriller (USAin perspective), medical procedural for the socialist medical workers, with maybe some mockumentary elements for added comedy.

The staff would be trying to figure things out and repeatedly dumbfounded by the lab results. Microplastics and PFAS well beyond known limits, etc.

Eventually the USAin starts to get better and appreciate the socialist society and medical care.

Meanwhile their family/partner still thinks they are kidnapped/imprisoned. End of season would involve a standoff with US military "rescue operation" being planned. Perhaps the military shows up, but they no longer want to go back to USA.

Anyway, just a funny idea for a story that would depict the reality of hell world via contrast with a socialist society.

With the tiktok and redbook stuff, this might be pretty on-trend currently.

It is like Gaza changes nothing for these 'radical leftists'.

Mostly thinking of Libertarians and MAGAs with this one, inspired by some MAGA acct posting about how tariffs are going to be good for US economy, etc.

This handsome young man shot that terriblly criminal CEO dead, he was a drunk and a deadbeat so I've heard, and you all loved him for it! And mainly from that outpouring of Luigi love, we have now made TrumpCare4All a reality, folks. What an inspiration.

went on a rabbit hole into the history of Pacific Palisades, and came across this:

In 1911, film director Thomas Ince constructed his film studio, "Inceville", which was on a 460-acre (1.9 km2) tract of land he leased called Bison Ranch at Sunset Blvd. and Pacific Coast Highway in the Santa Monica Mountains. Today this is where the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine is located.[citation needed] By the following year, Ince had earned enough money to purchase the ranch and was able to lease an additional 18,000 acres (73 km2) lot in what is now in the Palisades Highlands neighborhood. stretching 7.5 miles (12.1 km) up Santa Ynez Canyon. This was the first major development built in the Palisades since the Mexican rancho era.

This was the first studio in the area which featured silent stages, production offices, printing labs, a commissary large enough to serve lunch to hundreds of workers, dressing rooms, props houses, elaborate sets, all in one central location.

"Inceville" became a prototype for Hollywood film studios of the future, with a studio head (Ince), producers, directors, production managers, production staff, and writers all working together under one organization and under the supervision of a General Manager, Fred J. Balshofer. On January 16, 1916, a fire broke out at Inceville, the first of many that eventually destroyed all of the buildings.

This is highly distilled liberal slop.
