It examines how the foundations of American capitalism were built by those excluded from it, and how the pursuit of the "American way" often requires one to lose their soul. While it departs from the isolated, small-town feel of earlier seasons, its sprawling cast and dense themes offer a profound look at the "fable" of America itself—a place where the rules are supposedly set, but the winners are always predetermined.
