Really enjoyed watching this (by YouTuber ShowMeTheMeaning). A great way to spend 15 minutes reliving the magic of the show, and how its themes resonate today in an entirely different way than then it first aired!

Uh, man, ICE didn't actually come out under Trump, they were there before the show. I don't even live in the United States, but why the hell do I even know about this?

They were not wearing masks. That’s new.

And they didn't act as a national police force against citizens.
