I remember having a similar feeling about 'A Handmaids Tale', a TV show I gave up watching because I would actually weep myself to sleep.

Coming soon no doubt. It's like they are determined to make dystopian nightmares a reality, almost as if they know the end is nigh or this particular iteration of civilization is drawing to a close and they are determined to squeeze the very soul out of the experience.

To what end? Distraction? Personal enrichment?

Everyone wants their slice of the pie fore the music stops?
