Only to those who believe EVERYTHING they see on TV. The rest of us know a TV show is just a TV show.

Yes, like Nip/Tuck. It portrays most of its main characters, as plastic surgeous, like yuppie scum coke fiends. Now I have my own opinions on that industry, and quite frankly, it doesn't offend me in the least (especially after watching Dr. 90210) that they are portrayed like that, but perhaps it does offend others. Or I really dislike Nip/Tuck. Reno 9-1-1 is a whole different story though. I love it! |

You mean reflect? I don't think depraved characters reflect poorly on an industry. Television shows along these lines are for entertainment and the writers/producers can be expected to use artistic license at times, pushing limits beyond the norm. Viewers need to keep this in mind.

Well, most people are able to tell the difference between fact and fiction when it's presented to them in a TV show. Yeah, there probably are some paramedics or firefighters who are like that, but I think that we know the vast majority of them are different. You can't just generalize.

It's just for added drama, a plot device. Nothing more, nothing less. It's just TV.

I think it's to make the characters relatable. Who wants to see a perfect person doing heroic things all the time? It would just make people feel bad about themselves because most of them are in no way heroic AND a bit depraved. And aren't we all, anyway? |

I like it when a show seems realistic about the job, but a character is a character. |

Yes, that absolutely HORRID show Dexter, with that one show, the art of television drama has sunk about as low as it can go.

I see no need to get huffy. Heroes aren't born flawless, they have to work through a very humanistic sense of immoralism to achieve the spectacle of heroism. A well deserved status defined by a life of personal struggles. Nobody can justifiably celebrate inherent heroism. So I ask.... what is there to huff about?
