You don't say? Thing is, I view TV and movies as something to
entertain me. If, while doing so, they also engage some sort of
thought process then so much the better, but first it's got to be
stimulating.
Most 'drama' series have neither interesting plots, nor are they
light-hearted enough to be simply amusing. I'd rather watch the likes
of Heartbeat - at least it's not pretending you should take it
seriously.
