I am sick of seeing the rich and powerful on my screen. Where are all the TV shows about normal people?

I dunno if you’re being sarcastic here but wow, what a low opinion of normal people!
I cast no judgment but these shows are where you can find regular people and not professional actors.
Yes, it’s just that you’re often seeing a regular person on one of the worst days of their life, not a normal day. It gives a rather unkind impression to the viewer!
