I enjoy "dark" shows thoroughly, but they can be such incredible downers. <i>Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles</i> for instance - even "good" events tend to leave the heroes worse off than they were before.<br /><br />Star Trek is the opposite, where even bad things tend to resolve in a way that's uplifting.
