Michael Schneider, editor -in -chief of the TV section of Variety, said in an article published on Friday that the imaginary fascist worlds of “The Boys” by Amazon Prime and Hulu “The history of the servant“Get reality.
Schneider has argued the fictitious worlds created in the television series “Don’t seems more eccentric” in president Donald TrumpAmerica.
“The Boys”, a television series based on a group of superheroes that provoke more chaos than they do, recently launched a joking marketing campaign jokingly as a documentary. In a 2022 Interview with Rolling StoneThe showrunner Eric Kripke confirmed that the “Maleficent style character in the series”, “Homelander, was created as a” direct analog of Trump “.
The variety publisher wrote That the series of superheroes “feels much less fictitious every season is in the air.”
Schneider argued that the terrifying events portrayed in “Le Conte de Handmaid” no longer seems “so wacky”.
“This is why the cheeky announcements” The Boys “praise his campaign for the” best documentary series “.” He wrote. “Of course, the” documentary “is eliminated, and the” drama “is written above, as if it was a last minute error. But we have been doing this joke for years. ”
Schneider then moved his concentration to “The Handmaid’s Tale”, saying that the frightening events that take place in the series “no longer seem so eccentric.”
He presented quotes from the creators of the show to strengthen his point that the authoritarian dystopia presented in the series now becomes reality.
The executive producer of the show, Eric Tuchman, recalled that some writers of the show were concerned about the possibility that Roe v. Wade was overthrown when Trump won the presidency in 2016. He thought it seemed “a kind of alarmist and extremist … I couldn’t have been more wrong, of course.”
Tuchman said that the creators of the show were not focused on the attention of the attention of “the political situation in the country”, but said “that it was just strange how much it ended up being a mirror of what was going on in the real world.”
Another showrunner, Yahlin Chang, said before joining the production, she “did” all this research on what is happening when parents and children are separated in conflict zones “. She has carried out this research in preparation for a scene in which one of the characters is authorized to visit her distant daughter for only 10 minutes under the supervision of the government.

“My research has focused on conflict areas such as Liberia, Cambodia, Bosnia. I never imagined that this would happen in our own country. But when I wrote this scene in 2017, and when broadcasting in 2018, it broadcast the week when we separated parents and children on the border,” said Chang.
She said “by doing research on what authoritarian regimes do”, the creators of the show “have somehow predict what would happen” in the real world.
