Yoko's Asterisk 🏳️⚧I wish there were more TV shows about terrible people who have no redeeming qualities. It feels like this is a void that really needs to be filled.
Steven Saus [he/him]@charliejane Unfortunately, that seems to be the news, particularly covering the GOP.

Try C-SPAN.
Try C-SPAN.
Jesse@charliejane Shh, you can't be giving away this kind of gold when there's a strike going!
XaiaX ̆̈@charliejane you mean like “the news” 🤔
Aradia, EverScarlet@charliejane Like Blackadder?
...
Oh wait, they did try to bring Blackadder to American markets and this was the inspired result. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n-oIYVYAjw

Swapna Krishna@charliejane I watched ONE episode of the Show Everyone Is Talking About That Recently Had a Finale and I couldn’t even get through it. They were all so terrible.
@skrishna Same. I watched one episode and peaced out.
Kristen M@charliejane @skrishna Yep. One episode and that was already more time than I wanted to spend with those characters.
Eryn Wells@charliejane @skrishna I somehow made it a season and a half before giving up. I was hooked and I hated it all at once. It was exhausting.
Tim Ford@erynofwales @charliejane @skrishna
I feel pretty good about never even giving it the time of day.
So good I shall smugly post a gif reaction from a show about good people trying their hardest in a complex and tough world:
geewhiz@charliejane can’t tell if this is serious, but Always Sunny is coming up.
Saria@charliejane But there’s C-SPAN.
William Leisner@charliejane Isn't that every other reality program?
Lisa@charliejane trump made his own!
Victoria Venery HAS MOVED@charliejane Barry fits this though it did just wrap up.

@charliejane honestly I feel I'd get depressed watching a show like that
Faintdreams@charliejane I was halfway through a season of Billions when it suddenly hit me that I should be doing *anything else* with my time and it would be better served.
Modern tv is a vast landscape of Reality (scripted), Copoganda or 1%-aganda., Disney IP, or some combination thereof.
zimpenfish@charliejane As long as there's a lot of shouting. Nothing I like more than people shouting on the TV.
SpeakerToManagers@charliejane
You could watch the Hallmark channel, but given how I tease my wife when she watches it, I won’t recommend it.
I’ve gotten bored with The Blacklist, but I continue to watch it for James Spader. He’s such a _cheerful_ and erudite thug!
Sybil Lucy@charliejane the number of shows where there is no one to root for has gotten completely out of hand. Whole casts of annoying, self-centered, rude characters. All antagonists no protagonists. I support #WGA members, but hey, do better.
