The answer is basically any show considered "speaking truth to power" and loved by Elizabeth Warren fans.

I think a more fun exercise might be "what pieces of media inadvertently show that capitalism is the problem?". A go to for me would be Batman. Gotham doesn't have a crime problem, the problem is that they allowed the Wayne family to consolidate all that wealth at the expense of funding social programs.

speaking truth to power

I used to really like this phrase until I grew jaded and cynical enough to realize that power isn't threatened by the truth and you really just need to stab power in the eye.
