I definitely need more Alec Hardy icons. :)

I suppose I wasn't clear. I meant to imply that Moffat is one of those people who thinks that "family show" means "straightforward, watered down, and obvious". I don't think it needs to mean that at all. Children are capable of enjoying episodes without having things forced in their faces, and then as they grow up, they start to appreciate the nuances as well. I also am spoiled by the RTD era. :(

I *need* to rewatch Broadchurch season 2! I honestly didn't understand all of the complexities around the Sandbrook case and people, so at the very least, I need to straighten that all out. And then I can hope to start picking up the nuances.

I liked "Neverwhere", but it's nowhere near as good as "Sandman". The first "Sandman" graphic novel is a bit difficult to stomach (there are some truly horrific scenes in there), but I think the series is completely worth it. If you want an easier entry into the series, I recommend the graphic novel "The Season of Mists". That's the first one I read (it's the fourth in the series), has a very interesting storyline which doesn't require much background knowledge, and it really prepared me for the rest of it.
