If this helps: for the purposes of this video, the benchmark for “heavy-handed” cultural politics is The Boys. The Boys is a very obvious political allegory where certain characters represent MAGA and other political trends, and there’s a lot more explicit LGBT intimacy. The Acolyte is very, very different from that-a million times more muted, where it’s commentary is much more below the surface. Comparing the two shows is like apples and oranges.
