It's not personal, but sometimes movies and shows are used to escape the day-to-day nonsense and these writers/producers make it damn near impossible to avoid.

This is why the better half and I end up rewatching stuff we've seen vs trying to get invested in new stuff. If I wanted politics I'd turn on a news channel.
And we lean pretty far left when it comes to social stuff, but the identity politics and all that, Latin people saying they don't like LatinX, but white folks insisting it be used, etc.
