The only thing funny about #RickAndMorty S9 E08, “Rickuiem Mort a Dream”, is that the one time actual #empathy shows up in the episode is when Morty, supposedly drained of every last drop of empathy by the alien parasite, takes the time to talk down a serial killer by walking a mile in his shoes. One psychopath to another, having a heart-to-heart. *Snort*
The rest of the episode spoofs the fact that most people don’t know the difference between empathy, compassion, and sympathy, and yet, they always know that it’s one of the most demeaning insults to be sympathized with, on the receiving end at least. Real compassion is so rarified it’s almost never seen outside the closest relationships. But empathy is literally taking the time to understand a person by putting yourself in their place, unbiased, without judgement, and most especially without the insult of sympathy.
But that’s not really what the episode is about. Someone must have pointed all this out in time for the episode tag, but too late in the production process to replace the episode altogether. The real point of the episode seems to be that alcohol suppresses empathy—like some kind of half-assed #alcoholism apology—but that’s not true either. Alcohol suppresses the Ego, so that only the emotional core of a person is visible—empaths become more empathic under the influence, and of course, emotional and empathic deficiencies become impossible to hide from others without the Ego. If you ever manage to get a narcissist drunk, you’ll see what I mean.
The moral of the story is that empathy is work. Empathy is doing the work. Empathy is getting your hands dirty by doing the work and not stopping until it’s done. And yes, empathy is walking away from alcoholics because we don’t need an apology—or want one—because the apology is just another transparent manipulation trying to worm its way into the lives of others. It’s a fucked-up disease, but there’s nothing we can do about it except allow ourselves to be hurt by it. The last thing they need is our sympathy. After all, that’s what the disease feeds on.

Of Virdee
Virdee
https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/becomingthemuse/episodes/Virdee-Series-Review-e2uqkm2
Virdee is a British crime thriller television series adapted by A A Dhand from his Bradford-set crime novel series. The six part series premiered on BBC One on 10 February 2025.
The series, set in Bradford follows detective Harry Virdee as he tries to keep the peace in his neighbourhood and balance his domestic life, having married someone his family does not approve.
The Good
It starts off dizzy, but it soon finds its rhythm, setting up an intricate web of betrayal, trust, family drama, crime, racism and religious prejudice culminating into a twisted plot where morality is shades of grey….
Staz Nair is well cast DCI Harry Virdee, a cop just trying to do what is right by his family and city and the weight he has to carry… There’s great chemistry with Aysha Kala who plays Saima Virdee his ride or die wife who is the love of his love, with the unforgivable flaw of being a different religion to his famiy…
Harry Virdee (Staz Nair) and Saima Virdee (Aysha Kala)As if that’s not complicated enough, Harry Virdee’s brother-in-law is an outlaw with ambitions to become a kingpin in the Bradford Drug Empire.
VRiaz Hyatt (Vikash Bhai) and Harry Virdee (Staz Nair)While the crime thriller has a slow burn approach, each episodes ends on a cliffhanger with mounting tensions that will leave you heavily invested in watching episode after episode till there arent any left… its like silence of the lambs meets Luther in a Saw-esque fashion.
The Bad
The opening camera work which is supposed to give a thrilling POV street chase perspective doesn’t quite come together and instead gives the production a headache-inducing video game quality that some not be able to get past.
Some of the plot points don’t make sense lending some characters with some cartoonish motivations and one dimensional story-arcs for all its pretence at conjuring up emotional depth.
The pacing can get erratic when family drama and other factors are introduced into the crime thriller which give it a rather jarring experience as it tries to balance out all its genres.
The ending is somewhat drawn out leaning towards anti-climatic like they weren’t sure if they wanted to conclude it as a limited series or set up a for a sequel.
The Ugly
Before watching Virdee I had never heard of Bradford where the series was set and filmed. I have since looked it up to learn it’s the 2025 UK City of Culture… although the impression of Bradford one gets from the series isn’t a very flattering…
Bradford backdrop VirdeeIt has some graphic violence that can be unsettling.
Final Thoughts
Virdee is a six part thriller series showcasing the vibrant city of culture Bradford in a heady mixture that’s thrilling, dramatic and at times horrifying.
