A future where governments collapse because of too much debt, too many promises, and too little delivery certainly seems plausible by today's standards.
Corporations taking government's place has been worked in the Sci-Fi realm with better results.
But it follows the same old Hollywood playbook that Hollywood has been using since the 1930's: 1. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. 2. Corporations are inherently evil trampling over everyone in their path. 3. Rich is bad, poor is good.
A reworking of the plot line could have made a great series that was renewed.
