IDK, I like some pretty dark stuff (Hannibal, Dollhouse, BSG. Heck, I liked Miracle Day), but I am very picky about what kinds of dark stuff I want to watch? The stuff I love tends to have a very strong driving concept and/or aesthetic to it, the sort that . . . seduces you into its world. Things that are focused too solely on broken people behaving badly and everything sucks tires me out quickly.
Eh, I'm not hugely put off by what they were trying to do here (other than the Peri thing), I think I even like it in concept. I'm just not convinced that they did a particularly good job of it.
(Which might also explain my reaction to S11? I have all the goodwill in the world towards Thirteen, but there's so very little there. 'Nice' is not a selling point for me.) Well, I don't think you have to like particularly difficult stuff to think there's nothing going on in season 11, but I guess you're right that they are basically opposites.
