Tripodded giant robots strolling along the horizon, trying to find you. The robots try to turn you into a drone. And worst about it, all adults consider that as normal. To show that to kids as a show specially made for kids sounds worse than German fairy tales. As a kid in the 80s, I couldn't get enough of this show, though. I didn't miss a single episode. Because it's warning was spot on: As it would turn out, adults were going to consider mandatory military conscription, mandatory vaccination against another one of their diseases, and marriage as a means to enforce your love, as normal. I can't thank this masterpiece enough.
