    I think Narcos is a scary example of how perspective makes a difference in regards to people being heroes or villains

      @tiffany I'm pretty sure Breaking Bad has that on lock

      @tiffany I've still only seen the first episode; I found the narration kind of excessive. Didn't really inspire me to go on. So much promise, though.

        @scribus I totally understand that. It's not a bad show by any means, but I would not be remiss if I'd never watched it

          @tiffany I might give continuing it a try sometime.

            @scribus There's a bit less narration later on, I think. But that just means there's more Spanish subtitles that you have to not miss

              @tiffany That doesn't bother me so much. In fact, it might be a good idea, what with this whole "I've claimed that I'm learning Spanish ever since high school" thing.

                @scribus You will learn plenty of derogatory swears

      @tiffany That's the main issue in getting rid of them.

      @tiffany If the theme of morality being informed by public opinion interests you I'd implore you to watch Gone Girl, it's a fantastic exploration of how media and publicly conceived narratives inform our ideas of truth

        @northernnarwhal I'll make a note of that

          @tiffany I should warn you not to watch it with a light head or light stomach though, it can get really intense and there's a ton of anxious psychological tension throughout. It's a frighteningly unnerving and unsettling film, but an excellent one at that.

              @tiffany It's directed by David Fincher, who was the director of kiwi (I believe I've talked to you about him before, he's one of my favourite "modern" directors)

                  @tiffany I know it's on Canadian Netflix, I dunno about over there though
