New Netflix series inspired by real-life teen drug king

Maybe it's just me, but I am getting a little tired of the constant glorification of criminals in movies and TV. I mean, I understand the anti-hero concept, but it seems to be going well beyond that.

Tbf, the Hollywood obsession with criminals has been there since its inception. Look at the old Edward G Robinson or Jimmy Cagney movies, albeit it, usually ones with a morally-satisfying ending for the audiences. The lesson being that crime doesn't pay.

And when it comes to German cinema, there were some very dubious characters in some of the Fritz Lang and Robert Weine films. Later protaganists in Werner Herzog productions were of similar, unlikeable and questionable status...

Enough with glorifying criminals, especially young teens.

That may be true, but it seems much more over the top and the approach seems to glorify it much more. Not to mention films like Wolf of Wall Street that pay homage to still-living criminals even while their victims have never recovered. When I see MSNBC business asking Jordon Belfort's opinion about some market, as though he is a market guru who can see the future instead of a nasally sewer rat, it really makes me despair for the mentality of people who can't see through that.

That Hamlet was a proper scamp. And those Montagues and Capulets!

"He had that "Steve Jobs thing" of not fully thinking through the consequences, Kassbohrer said, "just like Jobs hadn't worried about people dying in China to make iPhones.""
