I didn't watch it all...all I have is my own experience. My parents were born before the depression, and lived through the war - Dad served in the Royal Navy, right at the end of it. The "social conformity" of the 50s and 60s was just how things were - we didn't know we might be deprived of anything. My parents were careful with money - there wasn't much to go round, but they weren't miserly. In the 1950s, living in suburban Dunedin, questions of racism or sexual orientation were never considered - what were they?
There's a lot of bullshit spouted about boomers, and any other named generation you can think of.
