Modern American shows seem to have such a dark untertone.
For example
Lost - couldnt just be about a small groups survival on a deserted island before some sort of "Lord Of The Flies" tribute starts playing out, but with the whole 'others' thing and what-not it got really dark.
Desperate Housewives - couldnt be just about a close knit group of friends and rivals from a neighbourhood but had to include past murders, baby-napping and stuff like that.
Ugly Betty - couldnt just be a run of the mill "its whats on the inside that counts" rolemodel program for young women and older ones aswell but had to have a dark subtext!
Why can't there be dramas without random, suspicious and sometimes disturbing backgrounds :?
