Suggestions, please.
Over dinner, my wife and I like to log into netflix and watch an episode of a television series.
But most series are the same, fair to great episodes at the beginning, then somewhere before the second season the progressive drum comes out and each episode is yet another excursion into social issues pontification land.
I was really getting into "House, M.D.", but then we got to the second season.
Can anyone suggest any television content on Netflix which actually wants to tell a damned story, not beat me over the head with the same tired sermons?
Thanks.

A couple of great documentary movies are "Man on Wire" and "Jiro Dreams of Sushi".
Saw and liked both seasons of Spartacus.
I used to joke that my slogan was WWJBD, What would Jack Bauer do?
But then the execs bent to left pressure and the story lines changed.
When they had Jeananne Garafalo on the show (don't care if I spelled it right,I could have just said "shrieking Marxist") I wrote the show off.
<Jack Bauer>DAMN IT!</Jack Bauer>
Never saw "Hell on Wheels"
Although it is on my list simply because Nick Searcy's twitter feed is a riot.
I'm not a big fan of the whole Star Trek franchise, way too preachy for my taste.
"Castle" sneaks in remarks about government overstepping or anti-PC, anti-socialism quite frequently. Nathan Fillion is Canadian, and it is usually his character who does the little remarks.
We always found "NCIS" to be anti-PC, they hug, they snipe, they drive muscle cars, way to go Mark Harmon.
There are always the reruns of the "Waltons", where kids respected parents and went to church, which must drive the PC crowd crazy.
I also loved early "House", what a character, but it went down the tubes when the whiney munchkin doctors with their PC views came on and Cuddy got slutty.
It is exactly my city's story of 2010/11. It starts just as a doco of the first event. As the story just keeps happening, including the death of one of the team. At the start its a story, in part, of trying to repair the catholic cathedral. But yeah by june 2011 forget it.
I posted in new year 2013 of my reflections from my Rand-based perspective - as the city fell but i didnt. This doco gets the experience of those 2 years and 11,000 events spot on. According to me.
