    Not even

    Both these shows are about crime and degradation, and most of all, violence. How do they even show up on the top of anyone's list? OK, so hardly any well-written show has 0 violent scenes these days - even Californication which is, in all ways about sex and nothing but, has the 16 year old chickie beating up Duchovny.

    But to love a show, to call it the best of all shows, that is relentless in it's aggression and demoralization? What are you missing in your well-ordered, safe life that you have to wallow in it over all other forms of entertainment?
