it’s barely post-modern. it’s a boring and overused tv plot technique that makes me groan whenever I come across it. build up excitement, tension, drama, create an interesting scene, then throw it all away with a “how did we get here” and a roll back in time

Post-modernism is 50 years old, and refers to the modernity of the first half of that century. Of course it feels cliché and outdated in 2022.
