I've grown so tired of "dark 'n' gritty "entertainment" in recent years. That stupid Joker movie a few years ago was my "enough!" point. When moron neckbeards in the theater around me screamed/cheered at all his bad, mean acts, I just wanted to cry and walk to whatever was playing next door. All my favorite TV shows have taken this route, where even something "safe" and "watchable" like the Law & Order offerings are now so relentlessly bleak, with the bad guys often getting away with their crimes, cops getting hurt/killed and the cops/D.A.s hands tied by the law. I know that's real life, but it's disheartening.
I hate seeing the villains prevail. It doesn't sit right with me, ever.
