It would be about the smart people who forward the human race and they would get credit for it.

Lol. That would be such a boring TV show.

Not necessarily. Smart people have interesting lives too.

You don't lose a character arc just because you have more than two brain cells

"Good people get along and do good things and get credit for it" is not how you make a thrilling drama, lol. I would much rather watch an actor who is a sociopath play a character who is also a sociopath in House of Cards.

No one is saying don't make thrilling drama. But there's a wildly successful British baking show that proves wholesome works too.

Instead of defaulting to cynicism and worshipping money/power, let's make some thrilling drama that don't involve shitty rich people.

I bet you watching rich fuckers eat shit would sell very well given the current climate of neo-feudalism
