This I've noticed as of late - the Film School of US VS THEM, films and series populated with non-sympathetic characters, like "reality" TV we're provided insights into despicable people, or people that we can recognize as others - but with whom there can be no sympathy. It's voyeuristic, divisive, think "Triangle of Sadness" or "Infinity Pool", there's nothing approaching a protagonist, no one to root for, the abstractions of class, plot, are not enough. 

Anyways, just something I'd noted in the last few movies I've watched. Film - and narrative - is better served when you've somebody to root for.
