As someone with "Don't Panic" tattoo'd on my left forearm, and as I pointed out in another comment: Adams' Magnum Opus is in no avoiding its messaging, the politics/author's opinion is extremely clear.

Can you give an example of the old, subtle (that's the word you were looking for, it's a subtle reference/theme) sci-fi show that was a "story with a disguised message" instead of the current "message with a disguised story"? I'm just trying to level set here.

Adams is a good example of a story with a message. A message with a story is more like today's TV sci-fi.

The way the message is being told has changed because the message is incredibly important.

If you didn’t actually want to give examples you can just say “no”.

As someone else pointed out: you’re complaining that some media is poorly written and other media is well written.

There are past and current examples of overtly opinionated shows that people love and message-less media that nobody cared about.
