Reply to comment by Goat_Wizard_Doom_666 in The Decline of British Blue Collar Stories On Screen: 25 years since NIL BY MOUTH first hit screens, Gary Oldman’s film has become a relic of a time when working-class stories were major cinematic events. What happened? by Bullingdon1973

Shameless, Superstore, and Kim's Convenience are all over

What's your point? They still exist in the same way that 'Malcom in the Middle' and 'Cheers' exist and they are about the working class struggle. They are/were popular in the same way OP is lamenting that does not exist anymore.

I don’t know if he’s right, but you entirely misunderstood his point.
