It's entertaining. But it's so tiresome to watch every liberal bias displayed in every script these days. Of course the black woman friend is wise, sassy, an angel, hip, tough, becoming a lawyer to change the System, not taking any crap in a racist white man's world -- and she gets to use the slur "cracker" affectionately. Of course the State Department guys are jerks -- how dare they ask our heroine to make a statement supporting Russian dissidents!. Of course her foster father is a mean-spirited, selfish, a-hole. And of course the heroine is a druggie and a drunk, casually bisexual, who just manages to pull herself together at the end. The Russians, our enemies in 1968, are all of course courteous, charming, gracious.

This rampant bias in EVERY new script kills drama. All we have to do is look at the character's race, gender, etc. And we know EXACTLY who they are and how they're going to act.

Apparently that's what young people want these days, ie, for art/entertainment to always confirm their biases and self-loathing. I can't understand it, but I can despise it.
