The only network TV show I have seen that bucks the tried and true conventional show template churned out by the networks is Hannibal.
I really suggest you guys see that show, it is very good. There are lots of disturbing imagery and subject matter but if you like shows that are written and acted superbly you can't find a better network show.
I really wish it was on HBO, I think you guys would be more apt to see it and I can have someone to talk to about it.
