This is a pretty astute observation about what’s happened to mainstream entertainment (and also very Gothic)
I’m wary of valorizing the past too much - television wasn’t called “a vast wasteland” for nothing - but can you imagine anything like this in the mainstream today

He quickly became convinced that he had been locked out, and he panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House, according to nine people familiar with his outreach. Two of these people described his behavior as a “freak-out.”
Oof, what a lede.
