minus-squareblarghly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 hours ago“Good people get along and do good things and get credit for it” is not how you make a thrilling drama, lol. I would much rather watch an actor who is a sociopath play a character who is also a sociopath in House of Cards.
minus-squarewhiskeytango@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-26 hours agoNo one is saying don’t make thrilling drama. But there’s a wildly successful British baking show that proves wholesome works too. Instead of defaulting to cynicism and worshipping money/power, let’s make some thrilling drama that don’t involve shitty rich people. I bet you watching rich fuckers eat shit would sell very well given the current climate of neo-feudalism
