Explain this to me.

How is a television show about a murderer that mortally wounds a pree-teen boy who is sitting in a pool, who then talks over the phone to a police-officer as he bleeds to death, and then tells the woman with fear that he doesn't want to die, then when the police officer gets to the blood-stained pool finds the boy dead, entertaining? Seriously. How is that entertaining?

I mean, entertainment is getting interested in something and getting some form of amusement out of it, right? HOW can anyone find that AMUSING?!
God, this society is so fucked. I really am going to enjoy the three month break from crime TV that I'll be getting when Mum and Dad go on holiday. I AM SICK OF THIS SHIT.

gah! I totally don't understand the obsession. my dad and step mother watch almost *every single one* of these cop dramas, and then they watch the ones they have recorded from other channels. luckily they live two states away so I don't have to put up with it often, but when I go and visit them they still spend the entire night watching cop dramas. I just have to excuse myself because I find watching woman after woman getting raped and murdered uncomfortable enough--but sharing that experience with my parents who seem unaffected is just waaay too disturbing for me.
