I've met bunches of truly good people, and some truly bad ones as well. The other people were varieties of weird and unexpected that you rarely find in tv shows. So these "realistic" shows just end up being writers excusing their own failings. "I cheated on my wife, does that make me a bad person? Yeah, but everyone cheats, or would if they could" just keep telling yourself that pal. This is one of the biggest failings of movie/tv making today. Sorry but if the only way you can't write saintly or satanic characters is by making them "morally ambiguous" then you suck as a writer.
