Good read, I enjoyed that and many of your points resonate. These people are not geniuses and seem to be seeking a shortcut to seeming to be, which others recognise. Perhaps an entire field of research in there!
Were there really no a**holes (or a**eholes) in the 90s?
(PS. There needs to be a self-help group for British people in 2024 still watching American dramedies from the 90s/00s. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing, but I am still a huge fan of Ed. Remember Ed? He was the bowling-alley lawyer).
Fascinating. I generally prefer nice people as fictional leads and bad people as villains, so I avoided the shows mentioned here like the plague. If nicer figures are coming back, it's a much needed 180 on the part of the industry.

Ben Sisko arguably commits war crimes on at least two occasions but calling him an asshole is stepping way over the line
You poison one Marquis planet...
The thing is - in real life, assholes do succeed! Frequently!
Should fiction lie to people that the good guys always win?
Is the difference that assholes on TV are interesting in their assholery? Assholes in real life are just assholes.
