As no one once said, "TV shows are my favourite things to read."
But, really, though, TV has come a long way. While things like comedy haven't improved since Married With Children, then subsequently Arrested Development, drama has evolved leaps and bounds since the 90s.
I'm currently watching "Ozark" on Netflix and this is the type of thing I would love in book form. Fast-paced, consistent, non-annoying suspense and a weird cast of characters. It's not flashy, it's not preachy, and it makes me realize that evil people need love, too.
