Defectives

[Hard@it]

After watching the latest Prime Suspect, I feel sure that all these detective shows are too depressing. Every one of them has hang ups, problems and snarl at everybody.
If they are all that brilliant they should put there own lifes in order. It must be a hellish world to work in normally but the atmosphere created for TV and Films now makes it not worth viewing. This prime suspect could have been a Frost or Dalziel & pascoe, and they have the cheek to put a programme on after showing how it was made, and they were rushing people over from Italy to make it, no wonder these stars have airs and graces.
About the only one that does not have snarls etc. is Midsomer, but then thats done lightheartedly in wonderful countryside.
I thought TV was for amusement and relaxation, but you end up as I say more depressed after loading this on top of your own troubles.
By the way keep calm this is only my thoughts !

It seems programme makers believe they have to "soapify" everything, otherwise the LCD will lose interest - consequently as well as the action you've really switched on to watch, you have to put up with sordid affairs, wife beating, alcoholism and all the other stuff you see every day in EastEnders (where, incidentally, the police are always portrayed as bumbling incompetents who cannot seem to see the blatantly obvious wrongdoing).

What next to keep the LCD watching crime drames? I'm waiting for "cop idol" - I'm sure you can invent the rules of that for yourselves.
