Theres been a weird backlash among, I presume, fairly stupid people about the fact the shows are complicated and clever, but theyre both huge international hits. We make no apology. Dont expect to do the ironing; sit down, pay attention and think about it. Audiences like complexity. They follow intricately plotted soap operas all the time. It depresses me when people say, Its all far too clever.
it's not "clever" or "complex" you numpty
you write these ridiculous scenarios that make no sense and then jump through a billion hoops to make it loosely connect to what you want the ending to be and then talk about how "brilliant" you and your writing is and how only "stupid" people can't grasp the amazingly clever story you wrote when people tell you "that plot makes no damn sense"
