TV: The Diplomat

I'm not the biggest fan of tv/movies...and I know nothing about feeeelm...so my opinions about the stuff carry little weight. But I was just going to mention that Jonny Quest and I have been "bingeing," as the kids say, on The Diplomat. (Bingeing by our standards, anyway, which means about 2.5 episodes a night pretty much in a row, for about 2.5 seasons of the show.

   Kerri Russell's on my list now...

   Anyway...obvs we really like the show...but...then that thing starts to happen...

   You know the thing--it's a somewhat well-known phenomenon among non-lefties:

   A show starts off straight...but...then...a couple of episodes in...the lefty comments start showing up.

   There were bad signs early on--but they weren't that prominent. And we're not on hair triggers, believe it or not...though we're getting that way... I don't let this shit infect my whole life. But the bad signs have kind of piled up. Thus far, the worst individual comment has been a denunciation of Brexit, delivered in a casual-but-passing way (dunno how else to describe it). You know how lefties do it--they just assume everyone agrees with their oh-so-enlightened views...so they can just assert their crackpot views as if they were saying the equivalent of the sky is blue... But also the whole thing overall is turning into one big girlboss/girl-power circlejerk. We haven't given up on it yet--and I say it's worth a look if you haven't yet.

So there's that.
