    I suppose they’ll hand wave away the self flagellation as self-hate? “I’m so stupid! I’m worthless in this broken body!”

    Whatever. I don’t expect much out of these shows–or any entertainment, now that I think about it.

      This has been my approach with all popular media for years tbh, and I think it’s the right one. Managed expectations greatly reducing otherwise inevitable disappointment. It’s ok to enjoy trash too I think. I just wish trash wasn’t the overwhelming majority. Oh well, ho-de-hum.
