The Draper/McNulty/White Conundrum

natashavc:

The elements of your personality that make you good at your job make you bad at everything else.

This is the character thesis of all the leading men. I’m a sucker for it. 

That’s there for sure, but isn’t it also sort of, like, how modern existence makes the ultimate modern man a sociopath?

Every compelling cable show of the past ten years has pretty much been a study on the sociopathy of the modern man, and all the other stuff, from meth to serial killing to mobbin’ to advertising, has been interchangeable symbols and metaphors.
