Rant: Just binged a show where the 'hero' is a corporate saboteur...

Found myself oddly justifying his illegal tactics by the end... which says more about the writing than my ethics, I guess.

Oh wow, I mean I've been there too with a series about a hacker anti-hero. By the finale I was genuinely stressed about them getting caught, which is wild. It really does speak to the power of narrative framing, idk.

Nah, that bit about the writing vs your ethics is interesting. I'd argue the show worked if it made you question why those tactics felt justifiable.
