Line 205:
* This, along with [[Reconstruction]], may explain the success behind ''[[Once Upon a Time]]''. After years of sexed-up comedy shows, reality TV, [[Darker and Edgier]] dramas with [[Black and Gray Morality]] conflicts, and grisly police/medical/lawyer procedural shows, a straight up battle between good and evil with an intriguing mystery at the core feels so refreshing to audiences in comparison.
* ''[[Legend of the Seeker]]'' compared to [[Sword of Truth|its source material]]. When your source material includes (among other things) [[The Big Bad]] brainwashing a kid then killing him by pouring molten metal down his throat, his [[The Dragon|Dragon]] being a serial child molester and murderer, institutionalized gang-rape by the enemy army, and a [[Serial Killer]] severing a woman's spinal cord onscreen and then killing her in a manner which made [[Vomiting Cop|a combat hardened general throw up]], a Lighter and Softer [[Pragmatic Adaptation]] is the ''best'' you're going to get.
*While not without [[Darker and Edgier|its darker moments]], Season 10 of ''[[Smallville]]'' has a much brighter and lighthearted tone compared to [[Darker and Edgier|the very dark]] Season 9, which is not surprising since he becomes [[Superman]] in the [[Grand Finale]]
**Season 4 is this to the much [[Darker and Edgier|darker]] third season.
