Greg WilsonSo, 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.

Please - no TV Monkey Wrench. That book was a big influence on me at one point. Got to spend several years wondering around that country. Ran into a couple of folks that the characters came from. Seeing that book on my shelf reminds me that at one point I planned on being a better person.
I'll stick with Finnish Nordic Noir. A character flawed cop crawling in and out of a bottle of vodka. Trying to raise a kid and track down a psychedelic tinged serial killer in perpetual night. That's escape.
