never saw a single episode. that goes for all of the so called 'must see television' since the sopranos. why? because I am not simpleminded. that's why. when I was young I read something in the newspaper [remember those?] that said television was seeking the lowest common denominator audience which I took even then [1977] to mean the same thing lowest common denominator always means when it comes to humans, the stupid people. people who can be easily manipulated and duped [twist, anyone?] and who never recognize the same old tired story being repackaged over and over again. every police show sucks. every hospital show sucks. every family based show sucks. does not matter how much perversion or malice the writers inject, they're always the same. from the awful hill street blues to nypd blue what is the difference? and when people wanted cachet from watching 'premium' channels all the fake sex and explicit violence was on display broken up by over wrought or fake depth scripts. and one is supposed to feel good because the manipulation and spectacle changed venues? anyone watching network tv in 2024 is a mouth breather. and anyone watching scripted television anywhere is a dupe and a sucker. full stop.
