I don't watch sitcoms any more. I find that the humor just doesn't age well. And I've never been a fan of "reality" TV. Mostly I watch shows and movies that are more or less drama. I liked Andor, for example, and The Last of Us. Right now I'm giving Outlander a try and liking it better than I expected.

I'd like to think the Buffy writers were trying to subvert the trope with Xander, but I doubt it. He does have layers -- he's certainly not a villain or one-note -- he just irritates me with the stuff that I'd now describe, perhaps not entirely fairly and definitely anachronistically, as incel.
