Is it just me, or is TV drama getting more gruesome and rude?
I've happily watched series like Bones and NCIS for a few years now. They mix drama and humour well. Recently though, I've been watching some of the new things that have appeared on Sky.
Da Vinci's Demon's I rather enjoyed. Man, there was a lot of nudity in it though. When the episode would start, hubby and I would have a bet as to how many minutes in it would take for someone to get their kit off. As a drama though, it was pretty enjoyable and the story and setting were really interesting.
But now there are other series like Defiance and Revolution which I just could not get on with at all. I didn't like any of the characters enough to stick with either series and I just found the stories boring. I've persevered a bit longer with Hannibal, but I'm struggling with the graphicness of some of it, and Banshee has a big mix of nudity and violence, but has a storyline going on that is keeping me interested for the moment. The overwhelming feeling I have though is that these series are all hard work to watch. I need something that's dramatic but a bit lighter - something that I can actually watch when I'm eating my dinner without wanting to barf!
What are you guys all watching at the moment?
