I hadn't really put much thought into it, but you could be right. As I've grown older I find it's more difficult to determine in advance which shows will resonate with me and which ones won't. I mean, as my username implies I like a good zombie movie or story, but The Walking Dead was just monotonous and uninteresting to me. And more and more as the years pass it seems the people who produce television shows are convinced they must include some form of supernatural element--zombies, witches, vampires, superheroes, adolescent zombies/witches/vampires/superheroes, and so on--and that the ONLY people watching television are in the 10- to 25-year-old range with an I.Q. smaller than their shoe size. I want to like these shows, but I've seen all of those stories before and the writers are doing nothing more than piling manure on top of manure with regards to the stories they're attempting to tell; nothing new under the sun or moon. So, yeah, I guess what I need is a television series with a middle-aged main character who has no hobbies or interests outside of his 25-year career as a professional aglet installer.From this it sounds like you prefer shows about ordinary people and situations. Those other shows are somewhat baroque...
