This is framed like 80 generations is a small number, but that’s huge. Culture and civilization moves so quickly that even 3 generations ago life is barely recognisable. I can’t even imagine what life was like 40 generations ago.

The bad news is that you die within two hours.
Agreed
It might be better not to buy a ticket at all. Finding out that you didn’t board a plane gives them more information about your whereabouts than not being able to determine if you got on a plane with fake ID under a different name.

Downsizing was a real bait and switch
The writer’s strike definitely killed it
Wasn’t it supposed to be an anthology series, where each season was a new cast? But then they were like “hey everyone loves these characters! Quick make up some stuff so they all have to stick around.” Then we got weird shit like that character who has a bunch of twins or something, and psycho serial killer Syler joins the team.

It’s a bit like Warcraft without the supernatural stuff. You have to make a functional town that has farming, stock logistics, weapons manufacture, etc. and then you also have to win against a nearby kingdom.
The mechanics are so broken. You can usually just wait it out for your enemy to run out of resources (to be fair it was the same in Starcraft) but every other level was a battle in an open field, and it was very hard to manage the actions of your army.
And better hardware means there is no longer a requirement to optimise.
