Horrible Hollywood: Difference between revisions

* The ''[[Law & Order|Law and Order]]'' three-parter about a Hollywood producer who gets murdered, forcing the New York-based detectives and prosecutors to spend time in Los Angeles, takes this approach, with almost everyone involved in that world painted as grasping, backstabbing, narcissistic and neurotic. It's aptly summed up by a disillusioned junior executive (and one of the few 'Hollywood' characters who ''isn't'' an utterly horrible human being) who bitterly comments that everyone around her "talks like they're a hippy and acts like they're in the Sicilian Mafia."

* The 70s ''[[Ellery Queen]]'' episode "The Adventure of the Sinister Scenario" had the Queens, father and son, witness this for themselves when they go on the set of an adaptation of one of Ellery's books. This being an Ellery Queen mystery, this trope's horrible aspects culminate in murder.

* ''[[Made in Canada]]'', except it's about [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|the Canadian industry]].

** And yet, universally believable enough to be exported south of the border (as ''The Industry'').
