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.
