RE: DESENSITIZATION
I got rid of my last television set in 2001 and when I moved in with my friend a few years ago, fortunately there hadn't been one there for a long time either...
Of course, I still know a lot of what's on the market, albeit more as an observer than as a regular consumer. I see "Breaking Bad" and even more so the spin-off "Better call Saul" as bitterly exaggerated satire. In my opinion, nothing is glamorised there. Even more so in another production - "Narcos". It's rather revealing and sobering.
I'm more disturbed by the popularity of formats like Trash TV. I attribute this in turn to the decline of education - especially humanistic education. How do you want to discuss Kant with functional illiterates...?
You and my husband share similar "choices" and thoughts about these seasons. He is a fan of Narcos. I also enjoyed "Better Call Saul"; you're right about it being an over-exaggerated satire. I hope our generation is as resistant to these comedy/satire drama series as you are and takes it with a grain of salt.
Thank you so much for your views and your invaluable input.
Much Love
... and best regards to your husband ;-)))
