    What was the theme of This is Sus? I only vaguely remember that coming out.

      It was a TV show limited series for reviewing/cringing at NBC (and related) melodramas like "This is Us," "Council of Dads" and "A Million Little Things." The general gist or "theme" was about how these shows reveal what the cultural professionals that concoct this sort of programming think about themselves and the masses more broadly.

      The limited series was best in the initial episodes where you had the schadenfreude of Felix genuinely hating the shows being discussed, and then it's clear that he got tired of that and the second half of the limited series was on less cringeworthy content (and thus was kinda boring). I generally don't really respect Felix's cultural takes that much, but it's funny if he's squirming a bit.
