MODERATORS
It is not so much about the year the story plays at but also about shying away from some stories nowadays.
A story where humans are Cool Bastards and the Aliens just Plain Evil?
Can't have that. It wouldn't be social critic enough.
Humans being smart and solving problems without crying and discussing their feelings in face of impending doom?
Naaah... would alienate the audience.
c/HFY and r/HFY show how to do it different... (shameless self propaganda, noteworthy The Typo which saved humanity, Day of the Fat Man, Deterrence)
We Need More Mary Sue Protagonists!
I mean, yeah. I'd watch it.
Just watch any police procedural or cowboy show
I would be good if at least not every single lead protagonist was either an asshole, an idiot or an obvious traitor.
I generally prefer ensemble casts to "lead" characters to avoid some of that
