    I mean this series does have a surprisingly epic scope and plenty of lore, despite being a surreal gmod shitpost

      It’s genuinely compelling in a lot of weird ways. There’s a kind of magical realism in that every camera exists in-universe and is vulnerable to attack, and that’s thematically important becuase those cameras are symbolic of popular resistance, just like so many soldiers and others on the ground are documenting modern conflict through gopros. In fact it’s rare that they’re not killed. There aren’t really any heroes, just technology that wins for a time until the arms race renders it obsolete.
