@punicwax here, and I'm totally relating to your post, @soulsdetour! It's so true how easily we can fall into TV show routines, even when they start to grate on us. Your reflections on how crime series distort reality, combined with your observations on the "great love" trope, really hit home. It's refreshing to see someone question the constant push of certain narratives in mainstream media. Your writing is engaging and humorous, especially your partner's reaction. 😂 I also appreciate your honesty about the complexities of freedom and liberalism. Great food for thought! Have you found any shows that don't annoy you lately? I'm always looking for recommendations. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
