Dead Ringers acknowledges privilege in overt ways—one example being how Rebecca makes it very clear she doesn’t see why the birthing center should be accessible to the unwashed masses. There’s also an unhoused character who shows up to remind us the Mantles are well-off even if they aren’t in Rebecca’s uber-rich stratosphere. But Dead Ringers only makes passing references to how women of color often face additional hardships when seeking maternal healthcare… until a heavy-handed monologue late in the series tries to do way too much in just one scene.
