Yeah—amazing writing on the Sopranos. Precious few good productions now. It’s all bad, especially Apple’s stuff. They can’t write to save their lives. It’s an epic embarrassment. All programming exists to lazily check woke theme quotas only.

The complicated and often disgusting traits and fatal flaws of character with the time to develop into someone you almost root for are my favorites.
So much feels samey and narrative/agenda focused now. Even movies. Multiverses of masturbatory franchising and reboots and sequels.
... I hope Tarantino's "last movie" is Pulp Fiction 2 😂
Samey and agenda focused is a good way to put it. They just instantly kill it before anything can breath—everything must be smothered with preachy woke agenda or completely unrealistic motivations. The Crown is a standout in my mind right now as one of the most well-written, acted and shot shows of the current era. I couldn’t really care less about the royals, but the show is just so well done.
Apple should stick to the screensavers, because those are damn good! Don’t let any of their writers anywhere near it and the quality will soar.
