Doctor Who is rife with portrayals of conspiracy theorists, and their surrounding culture, which riskily miss the mark. Not as symptomatic of the franchise specifically as it is science fiction, as works in the genre - which invites all manner of aliens, shady governments, cabals and technology are - run the risk of affirming their beliefs. Giving conspiracy theorists credibility has, in the last decade especially, been exposed for all of its ugliness, and its emergent, sincere damage. As such, the reasonableness and restraint of The Conspiracy is thoroughly refreshing; Session's Wilson engages in with conspiracy culture from a sincere place of class consciousness and dissatisfaction, as so many do, before venturing into the reactionary and salacious. He does not end up being correct through happenstance but is instead, set up, the grounds of his conspiracy supplanted by the people truly in power in the Committee. The Conspiracy is not an inadvertent affirmation of conspiracy movements, but a levelled reckoning with how easy they are to fall into despite good intentions, and does not reinforce their often quite harmful sentiments. A thoroughly enjoyable listen, that I'd heartily recommend starting the range with.
