Don't be (too) ashamed. What's the slop you're getting into this week? Games, movies, tv shows, etc.

I'll go first I suppose. I'm watching Burn Notice. I'm on season 3 episode 3. Some of the dialogue is so painful I'm embarrassed to watch it but then I power thru it and finally get to a high quality action scene. Former spy works w former girlfriend, his mom, and a fair weather friend to solve some problems in sunny Florida. It's completely believable and socially redeeming.

So let's hear it.

i actually stand on burn notice, it's campy but fun and the cia is maybe at it's most correct portrayal in slopular media: an evil cabal that you can never get untangled from. also bruce campbell, who's just a real treat.

    I highly recommend the series Hanna, it's like John Wick action, the CIA and the USA are unequivocally evil antagonists and they are explicitly using their secret super assassin program to plant child soldier sleep agents in places to take out left wing and anti-imperialist agitators and just regular environmental activists that are not even militant (though these are only noticeable if you freeze frame on a specific dossier from one of the later seasons that is otherwise just a generic intel plot device).

    Agreed. I have cozy memories of watching it over summer break on the USA network, along with White Collar (I barely remember this one but it’s probably copaganda) and Psych.
