I guess I would call it as close to that as TV gets. I don’t think I would really describe it as nicer, certainly not a damned sight nicer, just not put together by a set designer and limited by a budget that restricted the number of extras they could hire.
Also the show is worse in some ways. They were forced into camps that they could not leave, with no medical care, limited food, no jobs/etc.
That would definitely be some peoples preference for the current homeless, forcing undesirables into internment camps instead of dealing with the issue systemically, but that was part of the horror of the “show” setup.
I don’t know that I’d go that far.

I’m not trying to say it isn’t awful. I’m trying to say that they would have made it look that awful if they could have.
