@skinnylatte there's a scene in Everything Everywhere All at Once in the IRS office where there's catered food and that's what broke my suspension of disbelief.

@skinnylatte having worked in government, watching “Utopia” wasn’t relaxing. It was a documentary. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3163562/

The Authority is responsible for overseeing major infrastructure projects, from announcement to unveiling. The series explores the collision between bureaucracy and grand ambitions.Sounds watchworthy! It got 5 series too, so must have been pretty popular.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopia_(…@adamhsparks @skinnylatte

@skinnylatte I always wondered about the HR department at the bad guys evil lair at the volcano Island with all the tech and office workers.So they have 401k and dental? Are there budget fights if they should build the 100 or 200 megawatt orbital Death Ray?Do they use Jira projects? Do they have "destroyed by super spy" insurance?

@skinnylatte Lady, then have I got a show for You! A severely disillusioned and broken down spy has to complete his mission to make his country and his father proud. To do this he has to face office politics, bureaucracy and utter bad luck.Edit: This is a dark comedy. Apparently similar to a show called Barry.https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/64396-patriot

@skinnylatte “OF COURSE the government has alien bodies in storage. They just don’t remember where.”

@skinnylatte This is something I really like about John le Carré’s George Smiley novels. There’s SO MUCH PAPERWORK going on in there.

@skinnylatte very much the same, especially for any "government conspiracy theories". Government conspiracy theorists have so much more faith in the ability of the government than I do.

@skinnylatte You may enjoy "Au service de la France" then : the secret service depicted in this french series is both highly bureaucratic and mostly incompetent. https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/RC-021140/au-service-de-la-france

@skinnylatte in my books i have a running gag about spies from different countries comparing health plans while attempting to kill each other in the field. "what's your copay?" blam! blam!there's another about russia 'retiring' spies by using whatever crazy new method comrade putin likes that week. one is an american drug called havadoc - available over the counter - that causes fatal projectile diahrrea while tap dancing.

@skinnylatte @cstross has written books that touch on this. It almost makes me twitch when I come to those parts about the paper work.
