I remember watching great series on TV in the 90's. Like X Files, The Pretender, Sliders, Highlander, Eureka, Home Improvement, Futurama, and alike. I clearly remember that uprising feeling of watching something good with snacks and beer. They were written by good people. You can feel they cared about content. Then, I woke up in the XXI century saying WTF? All these writers are basically unemployed now, because fucking Hollywood doesn't need good writers anymore.

Back then I remember my dad saying that he thought TV and movies used to be better. I questioned if it could just be bias based on what he was used to watching, or good memories standing out more than whatever wasn't worth remembering, or anything else along those lines. Undeniably, MSM has become more degenerate over time though. You can see the contempt many of the writers have for everything you were raised to believe in and value.

I do remember the X Files. I liked the early seasons the most. Towards the end, it was OK, but it seemed off. I remember my mother remarking that they were going all out throwing as many off the wall ideas as they could think of into the plot. And I replied that it still seemed like something was missing. It just didn't have the same draw as it used to have.

I have that feeling more and more these days. You're not getting a glimpse into an artist's vision. You're not experiencing any shared hopes and fears. You're seeing some by the book formula they use to reprocess old scripts to squeeze a little more profit out of them. And you're getting propaganda with in the mix where they think they can force you to accept the brave new world the elites want to replace the traditional world you grew up in.
