Highbrow television gets most of the attention these days. But middlebrow shows like Supergirl, The Flash, The X-Files, Orphan Black and Outlander don’t "get much in the way of award recognition or break into the larger cultural conversation,” says Angelica Jade Bastién. "Midbrow is considered good for right now, not for posterity.”

Interesting. But I will get Breaking Bad and Mad Men when I get the chance.
