-if this was just one of those fantasy types of shows where we're all pretending that it's totally fine to be a corporate lawyer because this is just for fun, I would be far less annoyed. -- I often have this problem with eg romance novels that try to argue that THIS duke is a GOOD duke, really. You can either seriously interrogate feudal aristocracy all the way down, or you can go full wish-fulfillment, but you really can't have it both ways! The whole thing falls apart.
