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.

      It’s so bad. I don’t think it was fully intentional to make the US look as bad as it actually does in the show. I had to stop watching after a few eps
