Not explicitly but there are some weird feeling themes, similar to The Truman Show but without explicitly being watched.

The whole premise is that we, the viewers, are watching a show while the characters are forced to play into roles.

There are also scenes with hidden background imagery of faces. One of these faces is very graphic and frightening when/if you see it (this occurs when Dani is crowned May Queen and is carried by the cult to her throne. The image can be seen in the trees in the background of the shot).

The boys plant audio and/or video bugs multiple times to spy on people. Also Homelander can see through walls and has superhearing so he can watch or listen in on people without them knowing from several buildings away, which he does multiple times.

There are two scenes I can think of:
1. Someone listens in on a private meeting.
2. The flying monkeys were created to be spies, implying future listening in.
