It's on Tubi TV as well as the Roku Channel

Kurt Russell's character was certainly prescient in the years before Trump and the MAGTs, because the guy had no conscience whatsoever. He had objectives and gave no thought to the people who stood between himself and what he wanted.

Of course, we also got a dose of that in Michael J Fox's "Alex Keaton" on Family Ties, The difference is that the "big picture" of that character is that he's relatively harmless, beyond swallowing everything "conservatives" have fed him, and you always had a sort of "maybe he'll grow out of it" thing in the back of your head, because he was young.

Not so with Russell's character. That's the kind of guy who would absolutely get a job in "the Trump administration" in 2025.
