Haha!
I hate the whole seam of shitty American tv that my missus is such a sucker for. I'm talking about the the kind of comedy-drama series that pitches itself as a peer of The West Wing but is in fact just a thinly disguised soap with a flimsy medical or political angle. Tropes are washed-out muted colour palette, absurdly hollywoody looking protagonists peppered with several tired looking ex West Wing, Gray's Anatomy or Ally McBeal cast members.
Scripts veer from overwrought emotional nonsense to quirkily humanising comedy awkwardness signified by plinky-plonky comedy music. Speaking of the music every episode ends with a montage in which the main character learns a profound universal truth in voiceover over a fucking Ski Patrol song. ER, Suits, Scandal, Madame Secretary, Gray's Anatomy and my latest irritation, Brothers and Sisters... Beneath the surface they're all identical and they're ENDLESS.
