No? Because that wasn't a central theme of the book that was, time and again, proven in the story to be justified and correct.

And don't forget Abu Ghraib. We were all complicit. And a concerning number of our fellow citizens were gleefully willing to be complicit.

(As for the term "icky," I'm prone to understatements.)

When I look back on enjoying 24 back in the day I feel guilty. All that, "but I've gotta torture this guy, y'all. I. Just. GOTTA." felt silly and over-the-top at first. But then it came out that the US was actually torturing people. And grown-ass politicians pointed to the scripted drama as an excuse for why we just HAD to do it. It would feel icky to go back and watch 24 now.

But a 24-like show that didn't take itself too seriously? That might provide enough distance to be able to enjoy it. I'll check it out.

Thanks, OP.
