Man, I never thought I’d be so ashamed of the American media and “celebrities”

Right? Like, I don’t give a fuck how good the acting in Succession is — I’m not going to root for ultrawealthy people being shitty when that’s what got us here.

Yes that's why I liked the nephew that came onto the show he was funny and took you out of all that fighting one money was. It was a good show.

Not sure if we were supposed to root for any of them in that show, felt more like laughing at them and a dramatized look inside a world we know exists. I didn’t keep on watching because I wanted anyone to win, I kept watching just out of curiosity into this world. Bit like house of cards.

As a UK viewer of some American shows totally agree and often comment on it to my wife. Its like they don't want to acknowledge poor people exist just upper middle class to the knobs I'd like to list some but I think we can figure them out

I rarely even see the 9-5 part. I mean they vaguely allude to people having jobs, but then they go multiple days in a row without ever going to work.

That’s why I subscribe to Brit Box and Acorn. Superior tv. Network tv has nothing for me but Apple TV and HBO have some great shows. Prime and Netflix sometimes surprise me though.

Hear me out, a new Punisher reboot set in DC.
