So this is kind of interesting but it's also extremely ridiculous because this person is drawing analogies and actually trying to draw real life lessons to direct somebody's future from shows that are completely fiction. People watch TV and know their fiction but I swear to God they actually don't think they're fiction. These lives in these shows he is drawing social conclusions from have never existed in all likelihood the Dynamics of their lives would never exist for more than a week in the real world. They literally were written down on a computer screen or a pen and paper from a couple of Jewish guys who were trying to make you come to some conclusions from the stories they were telling. And this guy is completely falling for it.
People think that the only way to get ahead in business is to be a cheat a bully a liar a cad or any of the other horrible traits because they see it on tv. And they say they know it's fiction but they actually think that even though the story is fiction that that is the reality. and let me tell you from somebody who's been in the business world that all your success comes from being trustworthy so other people will trust you with their money their time their interest or even just to take your phone call. None of this other stuff works for more than a week or two. People will catch on to you so fast and you will get nowhere unless you're a brush salesman that always has another fresh door to knock on who doesn't know you from previously.
So I'm going to keep watching it cuz it's interesting for him to analyze the shows but it is absolutely wrong for him to sit there and draw conclusions about America and what it means to be American and what it means to succeed and how people succeed from these shows because they are complete and utter ridiculous fairy tales that never ever really would work in the real world. Tony soprano wouldn't even work as a real mobster. If you look at the real Mobsters who actually had success their success was based on trust and protection of each other.
