The writing on Netflix shows has been driving me insane. It's as if their writers have never spoken to a person but have only read about the way people talk You and The Midnight Club in particular epitomize this trend.
It's a tiresome thought terminating cliche flung at people that disagree with each other, but I do think contemporary "prestige TV" writers are very online and don't really talk to other people offline very much and that's why the dialogue is often so stilted, quippy, and pretentious.
