I'm just wondering how deserving it is of its branding as Quality Television™
A lot of Quality Television™ shows don't really appeal to me, because they mostly seem to be about amoral douches and no that's not really my thing (I'm pretty sure of my favored characters, Ren Höek and Cadpig come closest to being such but they still have hearts)
wasn't the Sopranos one of the first shows people talk about as being Quality Television™
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
Breaking Bad, The Wire, and Orange does interest me but on the whole I'm not really interested in the lives of wealthy white people doing things (The Sopranos, Mad Men, The Good Wife, etcetera).
Maybe that's the thing. Maybe I'm only interested in crime.
According to a 2002 survey conducted by the German market research institute Forsa, 95% of blue-collar workers, 88% of white-collar workers, 84% of public servants, and 80% of self-employed Germans shop at Aldi.
I'm of the opinion that both are enjoyable, though from an objective standpoint I can understand their failings.
In Swift's case in particular, it's not a particularly masterful ditty but it's a marked improvement over her pre-1989 work (given the choice between "Blank Space" and, I dunno, "I Knew You Were Trouble.", I'd pick the former every time).
My main issue lies with the bridge. It's hard to tell whether or not she's talking about every guy in the world ever or just the guys she's had relationships with when she says "boys only want love if it's torture"; the latter's definitely implied given that the rest of the song is written about how her relationships are portrayed, but I feel like there may have been a better way to phrase it.
I know I just pulled the "not all men" card, but I feel like it might just be a necessity given how oblique the line is.

i think the real heartless bastards, people like Joffrey Baratheon, tend to be near-universally reviled. Audiences like characters who are heavily flawed, but usually they have more depth than just being simply heartless.
There's an exception to this but it's not in 'serious' drama; the most amoral bastards i've seen on TV were comedy characters like Mandy or Eric Cartman.
it used to really bug me how i perceived everyone else as caring about celebrities pertaining to stuff they liked, and i didn't, i only cared about the content
this was particularly the case when people would call movie characters by the names of the actors playing them
to this day there are a lot of bands i listen to but couldn't name the individual musicians involved, and although i've picked up some stuff about VAs and writers for cartoons from talking to people online, i still feel unusual in the extent of my lack of interest in the individuals involved
i hope Anonus won't mind my saying this, but i think Anonus cares more about the people involved than is possibly typical, which would make us opposites in this respect and makes me think about this all the more

Also "you know I love the players and YOU! LOVE! THE GAME!" is probably the best one-liner in pop music right now.
it needs less percussion
