Yea anti-Italian/Irish/etc racism was absolutely a thing that destroyed people but it was generations ago and almost always boiled down to nationalist anti-immigrant stuff rather than genuine 'everyone from Italy is a goddamn savage' whenever it happened. The whole thing of people whining about anti-Columbus stuff being 'Irish oppression' is just silly

Honestly I found The Sopranos as a whole just absolutely over the top with it's ITALIAN PRIDE!!!!! stuff, to the point where I just started rolling my eyes every time Carmela started going off on how 'actually Italians are really great, I hate how those (non-italian slang word) treat us!' or Tony would visit with people ~*Very Upset*~ about negative Italian portrayal related to his mafia association.. Maybe it's because I grew up in the South, but there has been pretty much no discrimination against Italian people at all through my entire life. It used to be a problem, and if it does come up, sure squash it. But that show sometimes treated it like Italian Americans were getting strung up on street corners in 1990's New Jersey.

Isn't that the point? They're dicks. Stuff like Tony complaining about how black people get all these special scholarships and stuff while there's nothing for the poor Italians (never mind the fact that I'm a millionaire crime lord), or getting pissed off about schools teaching about Columbus as a colonist rather than just venerating him as a Great Italian Hero. They're the mobster equivalent of Fox News whingeing that white Christians are the real persecuted minority. There's episodes about how despite the big deal they make about their Italian heritage, they actually go to Italy and everyone thinks they're idiot American boors who can't speak Italian and don't know how to make spaghetti properly.

Yeah its entirely possible I missed that subtext. My bad, I thought it seemed ridiculous a lot.

I found Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy incredibly different to follow because the main characters were so difficult to tell apart.

Me too. A bunch of shapeless white british men with only subtly varying shades of hair in an already convoluted and intentionally confusing spy movie plot was not a good time.

I work in manufacturing and all the bosses in real life are white men with 0 skills and sexual harrassment is so rampant that I, a white man, was butt-groped by a supervisor more than once.

If anything, that episode was toned down for tv.

It's not just manufacturing. I worked in a Sales adjacent position and it was more or less exactly the same story.

Yeah, I gave it a try after all the glowing reviews and bounced off hard after a handful of episodes. Pretty much none of the jokes landed for me, but the constant attempts to be funny sure managed to undermine any attempts at drama.

I agree, this show was very very bad and I don't understand anyone who praises it.

In one of the episodes, a totallynotklingon girl does something vaguely competent and the genericblackguy character goes 'drat Dora the explora got balls son!'

The wife and I lazily watched like 4 seasons of Burn Notice over the past couple months and man that intro gets annoying as poo poo after episode 3 if you try to watch a ton in a row.

Especially once Nate dies . Every episode leads with a breakdown of what happened for the previous episodes of the season. Its nuts.

I could be wrong but I'm reasonably certain that a racist rant is not on the same level as literal murder.

I could be wrong but 'long jail sentences' are not on the same level as 'getting fired from your job'.

You're sort of trying to pin everyone who disagrees with you about attitude-toward-criminals vs attitude-toward-bigots into having to defend OJ getting away with murder and that's disingenuous. Most people who do crimes serve harsh sentences before they're allowed back in the real world. It's not unreasonable to think that someone needs to display actual remorse/desire for change before you're ok watching their stand up again or whatever.

Season 2 would have been a mostly decent show if season 1 hadn't been so amazing. On the heels of S1, S2 looks like absolute garbage though.

At least that's my opinion.

I actually agree with him based on her acting in Legion. I like her in several other things, but in Legion she was very over the top and just ridiculously bad.

Fatal transporter accidents are portrayed as horrendously rare. The show has non-fatal ones on the regular but by the end of the episode people are usually totally fine again. Even then the portrayal is that transporters are way safer than, say, cars.

Using a transporter to move between two well used and carefully calibrated stations (Starfleet to New Orleans) seems like it’d be way easier than transporter use done randomly out while exploring or even around/to various alien ships and planets, requiring and O’Brien figure rather than just a bored techie. The risks we see happen to explorers and on stations out in deep space where things are less explored and more variable.
