@castarco@hachyderm.ioI have the distinct impression that we could use most American "sci-fi" TV series (which seem to have a kink for post-apocalyptical scenographies) as a diagnostic tool for the autism spectrum.
For a moment, let's leave aside the tons of right-wing propaganda "hidden" in plain sight, and their excessive reliance on boring & worn out tropes (religious & cultish bullshit, irrational lack of communication & excess of anti-social behaviour, all vs all, ultra-low-iq characters*, psychotic & irrationally treacherous characters*, ultra-inconsistent character development used to justify "unexpected" plot twists, rampant anti-intellectualism...).
What could be used as a diagnosis tool is the incredible amount of strong inconsistencies that we can find in them**. It throws me out of the story every single time; and I suspect that it takes a certain kind of "uncommon personality" to feel that way about it, because otherwise these series wouldn't be so popular without real widespread criticism beyond cliches like "too slow", "it loses steam towards the end of the season", etc.
Many of those plots start in a gold mine of potentially powerful ideas... yet they consistently provide us with dirt & clay instead, while side-lining the "good stuff" as if it was too complicated for the populace.
Do you feel strongly about it? Do you feel like you can't verbalize it without being criticised as "too negative", or "too picky", or an "unbearable snob"? Do you wonder why it seems like nobody around shares your discomfort with these stories?
* : I feel this is a bit like the chicken & egg problem. Has the media conditioned part of American society to behave like dumb psychopaths as if it was something "natural", or is the media reflecting what was already there? Also, could we use other societies as models for these stories... just for a change? Please?
** : Just a tiny example: a "brilliant" engineer who builds a bridge out of fence parts and who doesn't bother to perform the most basic tests before trying it in a real setting and suffer the consequences: the bridge failing and her falling into the void. Bonus points for anyone who knows what I'm talking about.

@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaI'm quite sure John Le Carre wouldn't really approve of the second season of the Night Manager (at least of the first episode).
Won't spoil anything, but let's say it's a bit unrealistic?
Second, after the Iris files, this seems to be a tv series, with a shitload of good British actors, that borders on the totally unbelievable.
What a cash grab and what a waste of talent.
Nuff said.

@simoncox@seocommunity.socialWe watched all of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Smiley's People in the last couple of weeks. These are the Alec Guinness BBC series, and i have to point to them and say what fantastic TV this is even though it is now dated.
You could not make series in this way anymore - it is so calm and laid back but with so much tension. There are many scenes where now they would insist on a 10 minute car chases for dramatical tension.
It's all on BBC Iplayer - Recommended.

I hope humanity makes it. Looking around at now, I doubt we will.

@scottmiller42@mstdn.socialI just finished my ~4th play through of the TV series Mom (2013). My quick review.
(very mild spoilers)
Mom is one of my favorite post-2000 comedy TV shows. The show follows Christy, an alcoholic in recovery, as she tries to juggle work, raise two kids, and rebuild her messy relationship with her often‑chaotic alcoholic mother, Bonnie. Many alcohol, drug, & sex references, so not kid friendly.
