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 feel like a thing that kind of has to be addressed here is that the early seasons focused on the horror that would be throwing a privatised military at foreign conflicts, especially when said military was a bunch of superpowered untrained manchildren who do tiktok dances. And now we are supposed to see it as horrifying when Homelander (And Ashley) pull them out.
