The character that would have previously been the antagonist had become the protagonist. As a reaction to this obsession, a channel called USA Network did the opposite: it based its entire fiction production on the creation and emission of light series thanks to the success of Monk.

It is the claim of a ‘Light’ fiction school that was created in parallel to antiheroe fashion
Television tends to light After two decades of fiction with claims. For the actors it is a reef (they can negotiate a major salary and a position as executive producers) and, for the creators who were forgotten, it is a claim of their work and a return to the foreground with this change of mentality in the middle.
