When all this is over, the Obama era/recession will turn out to be more interesting than the great weirding. That’s when things got set up for world metamorphosis. The TV shows I like from that period are almost like eulogies for the good side of a world we knew was dying.

Imagine remaking all these shows now. They’d be impossibly dark and drenched in culture war bile: Psych Burn Notice White Collar Monk Royal Pains Eureka Warehouse 13 I can imagine great weirding versions of all of them. Notably USA Network switched gears with Mr. Robot.

Psych would have chaos magick themes Monk would get embroiled in autism stuff White Collar would be about evil bankers and oligarchs Royal Pains would be about 1% healthcare amid Obamacare, drug prices, and opioid crisis Burn Notice would be about Snowden, Wikileaks

Man, I have such fond memories of both those shows. Cozy winter nights spent with my family, old dog on the sofa. Feels like neither would last a day in the jungle of the Weirding.
