TV-MA: America’s Addiction – Video of the Week

TV-MA, or “mature” content, has become increasingly popular in recent years on television. Many people attribute this trend to the fact that these shows often delve into deeper, more complex themes and ideas that appeal to a more mature audience. These themes may include a portrayal of a character’s descent into ruin, such as in Mad Men or The Sopranos, or an exploration of morality in a lawless world, as seen in The Walking Dead.

Additionally, these shows often include sex and violence, which can be appealing to some viewers. However, some believe that there is a deeper, underlying reason for our culture’s addiction to TV-MA content – a desire for a bigger, more meaningful story. The Bible, with its complex and multifaceted narratives, satisfies this desire and offers a deeper, more fulfilling story than many of the TV shows that are popular today.

In contrast to traditional sitcoms that wrap up conflicts in a tidy 21 minutes and offer simple, surface-level lessons, many people are seeking out stories that reflect their own lives and desires. The Bible offers these deeper, more fulfilling stories that speak to the human experience. It satisfies our desire for a bigger, more meaningful story and offers a deeper, more fulfilling narrative than many of the TV shows that are popular today.
