Do actors dislike playing total losers in film/TV or is it just another job? Thinking, for example, of Daniel Betts who plays Brendan Harrigan in Mobland.

"I, Solomon the Wise, decree that this baby be cut in two, with half to be given to each of these women." "What? No! Give it to her then." "Yeah, what the hell do I want with half a dead baby? She can have it." "OK, this isn't how this is supposed to work."

I am not very worried about about the Tory Tapestry’s misuse of “doth”. What worries me much more is this sequence of panels which seems to show a small boat full of brown-skinned people followed by a plague of rats running riot and then a lot of dead white people labelled tax payers.
