It's a tv adaptation of the famous post apocalyptic video game series.

Some of the story takes place before the end of the world and some of the oligarchs are really enamored of this idea that they can use time as their ultimate competitive advantage.

I don't want to spoil anything, because I'd love if you watched it (only eight episodes or so) and gave your thoughts.

However, some of us watched it when it came out and were blown away by the stupidity of the master plan, but I felt like there might be something interesting to unpack in it. Then, I forgot all about that until just now.
