Ex-cop, probably the most overexposed profession?

But what I find interesting, is the extent to which the media creates a mythology that feds buy into and try to exert themselves, so no a lot of it is wrong, especially the technical stuff, but a large amount is spot on and moreover if it isn't true it starts to become relevant simply because it's been portrayed that way.

Though I was re-reading Virtual Light recently and was impressed with the accuracy there, a lot of nice small touches that rung true.

Counsellor/psychotherapist, and every movie representing it is embarrassingly wrong. The therapist in The Departed made me cringe. Sopranos was awfully wrong. Honestly, all movie therapists are terrible. It makes me curl up and die every time I see them. Is that how people think we work???

I get that often movie/TV show therapists have to be either a) overemotional in order to get involved with the protagonist or b) cold and distant to extent a stereotype. But it drives me fucking nuts. A good therapist is warm but challenging, providing an inspiring platform from which to jump beyond yourself. They are supportive but not insipid. Objective and fair but not cold and removed.

Fuck you, movie therapists!
