I feel like the first time watch is a very private affair but I would rewatch the entire Heated Rivalry season on a big cinema rowdy screening.

every one I talk to in all my various sides of life ALL keep mentioning all the homelessness they see and use that to indicate how unsafe it is. (in EVERY city)
When I point out they are usually the least likely to bother you (other than maybe asking for change), they always shrug.

I know the normal answer is that *well, people feel unsafe*
Okay, fine. But if cities are getting safer but residents think the opposite, why? Is this the fault of tabloid media and tub-thumping politicians? The by-product of an aging and possibly more fearful population? Something else?

A city in decline is good business for people and politicians whose imagination doesn’t stretch any further than “law and order”. And when the necessary fear doesn’t exist to support them, they manufacture it. But, in Toronto, there’s an added wrinkle: an OK Mayor with awful comms.
Inbox: "A new Liaison Strategies survey ... has identified a profound disconnect ... While official police data from Toronto, Peel, and York Regions highlights historic declines in high-profile crimes like homicide and auto theft, the vast majority of residents believe these crimes are surging"

Those who haven't started Heated Rivalry yet don't understand how good it is, but also don't understand how good all the offshoot media about it really is.

Ok I’m gonna offer one insane New Years take and this is it:
THE PITT and HEATED RIVALRY are the two best shows of the year because both are potential game-changers to the kinds of shows that get greenlit in the next few years
And also, butt.

The music rights discussion (around the 30 min mark) is fascinating (and also love Jacob's rant against music publishers fee (and the greed block it causes), none of which apparently goes to the artists))
