Some of the examples in the Wikipedia page don’t make sense to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competency_porn [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competency_porn]

  • Designated Survivor [Netflix]
This is a show about ...

US congress getting blown up and a much more low level member has to take over the role as President.

It does completely lose its steam after the first season and I don’t think i’d watch it again because it’s pretty preachy but it’s an interesting enough concept

  • Slow Horses [Apple TV]
This is a show about neglected, under-performing agents of british intelligence, who are exiled to Slough House and nicknamed *Slow Horses,* but ...

under the guidance of a hard-ass boss they time and time again manage to out-perform their colleagues at MI5.

(Or watch both via other means)

I find it interesting that the wikipedia artickes cites Apollo 13 and not The Martian. The Martian is like the most popular example of competency porn isn’t it?

I love Slow Horses. Gary oldman is so fucked up in that.

Very fucked up, and yet he is also the most competent person in the agency!
