Another dystopian venture. In this one, a cartoon bear named Waldo confronts the establishment politicians with obscene and acerbic comments. The guy who voices him is a two-bit comedian who simply howls insults, but catches on. There are times when the voters get a feeling of being disenfranchised and go for the lowest common denominator. We are currently in a period of populism, which usually mean the dumb, uninformed people are handed power. People who have no knowledge of infrastructure, human rights, or basic decency. The scariest thing is that these things have gone global. This episode also implies that there are forces who know how to manipulate all this craziness to destroy people who do good. I guess, there's so much cynicism here that the whole thing turned me off. Just too simplistic to work. But still we need to beware.
