I think it being filmed in this exact time period dealt it a bad hand. The trends at the time that influenced it’s production made it something not entirely removed from peers like Smallville - that’s like how I feel watching it in spite of liking it: naive, soft-handed, dream-induced even when everything goes into a shitter. If it got filmed in 2016 or 2021, not only there would be examples of the likes of The Walking Dead, Black Mirror, TLOU and such, directors would be likely to film a more realistic, gritty portrayal of a societal collapse that, in spite of the narrative, is hardly felt in the series as they were filmed. And, if anything, 2016\2021 is a more fitting time for cold war fears than mildly annoying but otherwise okayish 2000s.
I’ve heard gossips about it being canceled because of how rad it was
