Would you watch a conspiracy fiction show that included less "credible" conspiracy theories?

Not that conspiracy theories are particularly credible to begin with, but certain ones such as satanic ritual abuse, "Paul is Dead" and flat earth theory that have less "street cred" for various reasons and are taken less seriously in general, even in the context of fiction.

I'm working on a conspiracy fiction webshow and am trying to work in aspects of as many different existing conspiracy theories as possible, and I'm trying to figure out where to draw the line, so as to not break the audience's willing suspension of disbelief. How hokey is too hokey?

Update:

@Ewan@ Could you elaborate a little on what you mean by looking at both sides?

    Even really stupid ideas can be entertaining, albeit usually not in the way intended. That said, if you have creative control, I'd consider looking at both sides of the issues.
