[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 180496, member: 102"] Not having seen the other 80s primetime soaps, I'm wondering did the ones other than Dallas did tend to make their characters "virtuous characters with no failings"? Was Dallas the exception to that in the 80s? I just finished watching Netflix's "Bloodline." The story was interesting, but as for the characters, they were mostly characters with nothing but failings and few if any virtues. That gets old fast. With one exception, the characters in Bloodline were not only not "just like us" but they were unlike anyone I would ever want to associate with. I'm hoping that whole trend of shows like that is close to dead. Netflix seems intent on burning out people's interest in shows like that through massive overexposure. I was looking for a new show on Netflix to watch and all of their new series were about criminals and other lowlifes and losers. Why would I care about what happens to them? I really don't know who they're trying to appeal to with that. I think people are tired of those types of shows, which is one of the reasons Yellowstone kicked so much ass in the ratings over the summer. They were the most watched cable show of the summer.
