A question about whether the series Satisfaction is RP material?

No. It is a mindless cluster fuck which is supposed to be edgy but doesn't manage or care to flesh out characters.

It is the type of series where a stray bullet could hit one of the characters and you would neither miss them nor care to ask why.

The pilot raises the question "What if today's zombies would wake up and stop working for the machine?" The answer it finds is "They would do some stuff different but be zombies again in no time."

No. I have not watched it, but I've seen the ads, and I can already tell you its not.

It's the same reason 50 Shades of Grey it's not RP, even though you'd think it is. Someone here made a thread exactly why 50 Shades is not RP, and the same reasons apply to this show, and any like it.

(Like that other new one about the womanizing 'doctor', I forget the name... [notice how not only is the guy tall and rather handsome, he's also doctor and some kind of cop. But of course! This guy has the good looks, the body, the career, and the survival skills. I'll be damned if this character was not written by a bunch of women seconds away from hitting the wall!])

Shows with actors clearly high on the SMV foodchain, with corny one liners, and lots of nudity does not equal RP. In fact, shows like these are a clear demonstration of the fem-centric society we live in. These are shows specifically targeted towards women; they don't attract the audience by writing great characters and plot (that require a little too much logic), they attract the audience by having attractive model actors smirking and throwing ballsy one liners at other model actresses for an hour. Add some nudity and sex scenes (better yet: make these guys gods in bed) to the mix and you'll make bank with the ratings.

Breaking Bad, on the other hand, is actually a great representation of RP in many ways.

Nope. Go for something like Californication or House of Cards.
