At risk of being a dork I’ll also compare this to Star Trek (largely because OP is a clear fan). Both series are really timeless and impactful imo because they portray people as almost supremely emotionally intelligent. Everyone is very professional when they need to be - capable of great emotional restraint, but also deeply empathetic and caring and ‘tender’ when the time is right.

I mean Gimli is supposed to be the “emotional hothead” of the Fellowship and he’s literally more chill and emotionally controlled than most of the people you run into working retail

That's why Star Trek is sometimes referred to as "competency porn."

As someone who spent time in the military, I know exactly what you mean.

I wish the people I worked with were 25% as competent, rational, and level headed as the crew of the Enterprise.
