That's a good point. I'm mixing two different things there I guess. One is my personal preference and the other is a broader cultural critique. I do appreciate some of the self reflective shows that are violent fiction even if it's not my thing personally, if there's a point to it and makes people think. I just think it could be less of a dominant focus if we had a more robust cultural interest in learning about the real world. Also there's a lot of stuff like "Survivor" and I'm not sure there are any redeeming qualities there besides just pure entertainment slop.
