Watch all modern media at your own risk. It seems like it is all leftist propaganda these days.
Some years ago I turned off cable and the internet. Well into that experiment my sister and bro in law came to stay with me to help get their finances together.
They couldn't survive without cable/internet so they had it hooked back up.
Every program I watched seemed to bombard me with images and messages contrary to my view and understanding of what is reality and what is good. Even the most benign of programming was filled with messages supporting a progressive world view, just by taking that world view for granted as the norm.
I'm renting a room to a friend currently. He pays for internet to be hooked up here and enjoys movies so I'll occasionally watch a movie. My opinion hasn't changed.
We like to think that if we are looking for it or because are well grounded in our philosophy/worldview that propaganda won't work on us, that we're immune. Those who've studied the "art" of propaganda would beg to differ. It will effect you, if you are "nudged" enough you will succumb. You will just rationalize that you've looked at the evidence and made a rational choice to change your opinion.

Anything Whedon is dead to me, *expletive deleted*ck him.
There was a time in the recent past where I would have told you to just get over it and enjoy the show. However, I've really noticed this as well in the last few years. It's one thing to have "anti-heroes", like Boyd Crowder in
Justified, but for every
Justified, there seem to be a dozen shows that want to overtly force into the script some political or social statement that is the antithesis of my world view. They don't do it in the same way as old shows, like
All in the Family, but in a smarmy SJW way. In the same way that got me to vote for Trump.
I get tired of "grey hats". Sometimes I want white hats and black hats, people who try to do the right thing, and heroes that ride off into the sunset.
On the OP, I agree about loving
Firefly, but it's too late for those actors to make a comeback. It would be like
Star Trek 6, senior citizens in space. Also, Joss Whedon has lost his mind. He's like Seth McFarland after Bush won. I used to love
Family Guy, where they made fun of everyone pretty equally, but after the BDS it turned into political propaganda and became unwatchable. In the past, I had respected Whedon for having far left views but being able to set aside his views to produce a great libertarian style show. I don't think he could do that anymore.
