I don’t usually watch contemporary tv unless it’s critically acclaimed all over the place, which this one was, and altho there are boring and or stupid bits, I gotta admit that for subtlety and imagination I’m quite impressed.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
