Getting the feeling that the intent of this series is to paint White suburbanites in a bad light.
Looks like a typical Millennial smear job about a time they do not personally recall. They can hit White, conservative heterosexual churchgoers all in one blow with this. It takes place in Texas, so that's a plus for their agenda as well.
I don't think in 2022 they'd ever be doing a show on The Weather Underground, or the Zebra Killings or the murders of Anthony Sowell, especially with quite as much zest as they show for Candy.
