Hollywood has become less subtle lately. The new "Jack Ryan" on Prime is an example. No matter how rogue or vile the CIA may act in any criminal scenario, everyone involved believed they were working for the greater good of America (and the free world) while the leadership of the CIA remains fully committed to rooting out the "one off" bad actors to ultimately save us from the global narco terrorists always waiting to attack an innocent USA. Did I get that right? Bottom line is we can trust our leaders as they always, always do what is best and win the day. Of course it's all Bullshit as the CIA and all other three letter federal agencies are far beyond redemption at this point but they sure have the Hollywood producers fully aligned with the narrative.
And of course, "Our CIA*" must act in secret and subject to no law or oversight. It's for our own good, see.
How much you want to bet that the series was directly or indirectly sponsored by (wait for it!) the CIA?
*"Our CIA" was a favorite phrasing of liberals when the russiagate conspiracy theory was at its height, as if the agency that tortures people was some kind of patriotic national treasure.
