You should watch Channel 4's Utopia. Dystopian scifi. It's about a comic book fan club that is being pursued by a fascist deepstate. It was canceled after 2 seasons for being too violent. It has great visuals and a banger soundtrack too.

It's a shame the premise is basically just accepting ecofash assumptions in order to be provocative, but the style and acting is great.
I do not recall any real moment that the premise of the villains is challenged though, the challenge is "you cant be ecofash for moral reasons" and the head ecofash is constantly portrayed as a uniquely troubled genius.
Is there a potential future where a third season would reveal it to be all bullshit? Sure, but then it becomes bad television instead, since the ecofash narrative is one of the things that was innovative and challenging about it.
