I knew a girl who once worked on a supposedly clandestine "special ops" tv show. She messaged me halfway through shooting explaining how disillusioned she was with the whole affair. I asked if, that notwithstanding, whether she had a lovely time in Costa Rica ... she was horrified that I knew her location as all public releases of the tv show had them being "special ops" in Africa somewhere.
