I’m genuinely curious what connects with you about them? My hope is my response comes across as inquisitive, instead of critical, as the former is my intention on replying. I see Billions filming in my neighborhood all the time, blocking bikes lanes, etc. To the benefit of whom? If it’s to discourage the maniacal pursuit of a wealth at costs, that’s a message I can support. If it only motivates more people to value material wealth over everthing else and continue playing the zero-sum game of “more for you means less for me”, I find programs like this truly detrimental to humanity.

I would say Instagram affects our idolization of wealth and materialism more than these shows. Accelerationist rap and Billboard pop permeate our culture of consumption as well. These shows are just symptomatic of this, and the networks are showing what the people want.
