No, seriously. My dad made me watch two episodes with him after waking up hung over at his New Years party. He said it was HILARIOUS.
It. Is. The WORST.
It’s literally Big Bang Theory for NatSec Ghouls. It’s about a divorced guy who’s in the CIA but then learns his DAUGHTER IS ALSO IN THE CIA! Gasp!
Also it starts Arnold fucking Schwarzenegger who’s like 500 but is doing James Bond shit, but every action scene they either have him in a weird getup or shot from a weird angle cuz they’re clearly having some muscly stunt double doing that shit.
This seems like something the Chapo hosts would come up with as a joke.
you should watch The Spy Next Door instead, it’s more realistic about how ridiculous that world is

Isn’t that also basically the plot of Inside Job
Big Bang Theory for NatSec Ghouls
Actually that would be United States of Al
you should watch Patriot instead, it’s more realistic about how ridiculous that world is
are the politics infuriating enough to ruin the show? I see a westoid show about Iran and the “calmness veins” in my forehead start “relaxing”.
It’s barely about Iran. They just needed one of the countries we’re constantly antagonizing to stick in there.
well, I never actually finished the show, so maybe in season 2, but I don’t recall it actually saying anything about the targets, just how fucked up people and objectives are, it’s very much a dark comedy. For example, the show starts out with the senator’s sociopath fuck-up son cooling his heels in Amsterdam after fucking up some wet-work mission, so he’s just hanging out in a cafe playing guitar, but he’s singing about the depraved shit he was doing
It sounds bad, but it’s it worse than Heil Honey, I’m Home?
I mean, as awful as that sounds I assume the writers were coming from the perspective that Hitler is bad but making a joke out of putting such an evil person in a comedic situation.
This show seems to unironically be trying to present a fun, friendly image of the CIA. Say what you will about “American Dad” but at least they make the occasional gag about how genuinely evil the CIA is as an institution.
