This is the way. Start the series over. Stick close to the novels even when it gets cringe. Give us the look and feel of The Day of the Jackal

His Majesty’s government will certainly need spies in hell. Just set the film there.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

stores you can wander around in should give you a button when you enter, to pin on your clothes, that lights up when you press it. this is to indicate that you want an employee to offer to help you. If it is not lit they must leave you alone. actually I'd love this for the rest of life too.

She's learning to control herself, to show a moderate public persona, just like a professional pol. But we saw who she was when she chased David Hogg down the hall yelling vile lies at him. Let's not forget it.
Greene: "I will praise Nancy Pelosi. She had an incredible career for her party. I served under her speakership in my first term in Congress and I'm very impressed at her ability to get things done. I wish we could get things done for our party like Nancy Pelosi was able to deliver for her party."

If the wrapper’s still fit, you must acquit
Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”
