Too many of the American series seemed to be written by ticking boxes.

Do we have the divorced or widowed dad, with kid/kids, that are getting in the way of the job? Maybe throw in a new GF to get in the way of the plot and stretch the series out a few episodes. None of these have anything to do with the theme, plotline or outcome.

If a cop, is he a rogue cop?

Then we need the pointless sex scenes and, of course, everyone but the geeks or nerds needs to be dead drop gorgeous.

Then squeeze it all, with a successful outcome, into 40 minutes. Does 40 minutes need any padding?

Enjoying Man in the High Castle at the moment.
