Crime Television

My DVR Contents I've recently had a voracious appetite for crime story television.  In these matters I simply indulge myself without trying to analyze why.  Yesterday, however,  while watching  the law nail the identity of a serial killer, I felt a gusher of Seratonin hit my brain.  I was instantly filled with a sense of well being  A satisfying sense of order enveloped me. Why?  Self analysis was easy.  I feel we're living in lawless times. Following the political scene as I do, I've become pretty hollow and emotionless much of the time.  Crime upon crime stack-up with no appropriate response.  The government is corrupt;  the media are corrupt; the courts are corrupt.  Here then are examples of things working the way they ought to.  People run, and are caught.   People lie, and have those lies meticulously exposed. People murder, and are executed.  Order is restored.   Good is still possible.  What a rush.
