I think the political motivations for shows are sometimes amusing. Star Trek Discovery show writers claimed that they were modeling elements of the primary conflicts on the modern gop in terms of their portrayal of the bad guys. But, the portrayal was so alien to the gop that it was not insulting. Meaning, even non Dems agree that those things are bad. They’re beating on straw men versions of arguments.
That show did get worse over time in that regard. Even having Stacey Abrams as president of earth, or whatever.
