I FUCKING QUIT UBER!

OK, so I started driving for Uber back in December as per the advice of my therapist because not only was my unemployment money exhausted and the people at the unemployment office were being dicks and not giving me an extension, but I had exhausted my savings and needed a stopgap measure to make money until I could get an actual job. It was fun mostly, but this week has been maddening because I was trying to work overtime to not only earn some money for a trip I'm taking to New York with my brother and make a payment I needed to make at the same time, but yesterday and today were so frustrating. In fact, today was so frustrating that I just gave up for the day. Seriously, I fucking quit. I don't want to do this anymore, but at the same time, it's the only way I have to earn money until I begin my new job in a few days.

Looking for stuff for my witch costume

I'm a guy, and I decided to make a witch costume because I love expressing myself. In addition to a witch hat and robe, I also have a leather jacket for colder seasons, studded leather wristbands for warmer seasons (I'm a huge metalhead too), a studded leather belt and a pair of Wesco Motor Patrol leather boots (they ain't cheap, but you can beat them up and they'll last). Given all this, is there anything else that would complement the look?

Why does The Professionals feel like a more hardcore version of American police procedurals from the same period?

OK, I'm technically watching this one on Tubi, but I hear it's on BritBox too, so I figured it was all right to ask here.

So, I'm American, and I've heard of the 70s/80s crime show The Professionals for well over a decade, but because it never aired on any American cable channels (as far as I was aware) nor were any Region 1 DVD/Blu-ray box sets manufactured, it was only until recent years that I was able to watch it, and the first thing that struck me - aside from how much ass it kicks - is how hardcore it is compared to American police procedurals from the 70s and 80s. Like, I love shows like Adam-12, Miami Vice, S.W.A.T. and Hunter, but this one has more balls than all of those shows combined. Why is that?
