I watch Intervention for those purposes. Seriously, you get movies like Monster that are about incredibly grim subject material and they're not as one-note and as devoid of humor as The Killing. It's downright weird to me. I'll defend the right of grimdark to exist, but I don't buy it as truth.

I haven't seen Fire Walk With Me - I also thought TP deteriorated during the second season, but what was great about it was so great that I forgave the parts I didn't like.
