What is often defined as the golden age of television is centered around one common thread: the antihero.
America’s obsession with the flawed protagonist not always operating in the interest of upholding the highest morality standard is a reflection on its idleness as a nation in the post-Cold War Era. No clear enemy and Godlessness lead to fascinations in behaviors that point downward.
We grew bored with heroes as they should be. We grew bored with flawed heroes who eventually conquer their one fatal flaw. We only wanted the ones who plunge into indulgence of spiritual and sometimes indirect physical suicide.
All that glitters is unfortunately not always gold.
I’m joined by @bloodsatellite in a discussion that was originally supposed to be regarding the benefits of studying leftist thinkers like Derrida and Foucault, but it spontaneously shifted into a discussion about the great anti-heroes of television’s golden age.
Despite this subject matter, it was a comedic, jovial, and dare I say, fun conversation.
We discussed Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Mr. Robot, Boardwalk Empire, The Wire, and the Sopranos among others.
Give it a listen.
