So, so tired of cop shows. I want a series about three generations of an activist family. The grandparents were part of the anti-war/civil rights movement in the 60s. One of their kids is a slightly conservative gay corporate lawyer, the other manages a community center, and her kid is a trans college activist who's angry all the time. Throw in friends (and enemies) for all three generations, and start filming.

I still have a nostalgic fondness for Citizen Smith.

@iaruffell @gvwilson Alas, Citizen Smith can be contextualized today as crude right-wing propaganda from back in the day when we weren't used to them weaponizing humour.

There are elements, and it has dated too. Its tothachingly awful depiction of middle-class suburbia is painfully spot-on, though. Wolfie is not always the butt. It's more complex than some of its peers.
