i don’t think any Indian or Pakistani show has ever been able to achieve even half the aesthetic appeal and cinematographic brilliance as that of Barzakh- the storytelling, the metaphors, the visuals, all are just so brilliantly written and shot that every scene is a visual treat for the viewers.

can you please explain what do you mean by nationalistic baggage in slow horses? honestly i don't understand that. and i always try to learn and be less ignorant so that's why i truly want to understand this

its more like. the copaganda adjacent bent that all of these shows sort of have where the agency that they represent is doing good/trying to hunt the bad guys/actually marginally competent instead of ontologically evil institutions that operate more in terms of sustaining the status quo than actually protecting people. queen and country and dying nobly in the cause thereof etc. thats what i mean

like slow horses does acknowledge that MI5 is a really institutionally flawed agency, but our heroes work for MI5. so. its more of a 'well these guys are bad apples and the protagonists are the good ones' instead of "well maybe this british intelligence agency is like. bad on the whole and should be abolished as we know it" etc. thats where the nationalism lives

the tonal whiplash is jarring from the way tumblr (and reddit refugees) talk about the submersible vs the way twitter, the news, and the government talks about it

like yeah we’re making fun of it but we still recognize it’s a horrible way to go out…they still (mostly) brought this on themselves tho

on the other hand, everyone else is like “it’s a tragedy, we need to divert all our resources and attention to this specific situation, if you don’t feel extreme sympathy and kinship for these people then you’re a terrible person”

the best example I can think of that shows what I’m talking about is how we all think it’s incredibly funny that the stepson of one of the billionaires on board went to a Blink-182 concert during search efforts while most people on twitter were clutching their pearls like “oh, he doesn’t care, how horrible that’s he’s continuing to live his life and not pray these poor, rich souls”

and ik if someone said this on somewhere like twitter people would accuse them of putting one cause above others but seriously, what about literally anything else happening, like the thousands of migrants lost at sea that are being overlooked because of these billionaires who absolutely knew the risks when they agreed (also, the only cause in this situation was a lost cause from the start, that is, if we’re gonna call anything to do with billionaire lifestyles a “cause”)

anyways,

sink the rich

yes, human empathy and all that but billionaires aren’t people and you’re not a horrible person for laughing at or making fun of this situation where the odds, nature, and literally everything else that could be were absurdly stacked against these five from the beginning
