@visakanv hmmm, interesting so for media, like people, I'm often tracking what they're "trying" to do, and if I don't think you succeed or if you're "trying to hard" (forcing an impression, telling not showing) you lose points But I think I evaluate older stuff a bit diff
@visakanv Like, watching Get Smart or Hoagan's Heros feels more like an anthropological journey They were absolutely *not* trying to get me, born several generations after it ended, to have a certain impression so some criticality drops
@visakanv been thinking about how I and others interpret how media "tries" recently I enjoyed S1 of "Patriot" and one think that jumped out was they seduced me such that I didn't feel the "forcefully hand" of the writers.
