>consumers don't have that much interest in slices of everyday life

Last weekend I watched amazon original 'catastrophe' and 'lilyhammer' a netflix original. Both of these revolved around ordinary people doing everyday stuff.

I'm not sure if I would classify the protagonist of Lillyhammer an "ordinary person" doing "everyday stuff".

(I do, however, very highly recommend the series. I've only seen Season 1, but it was fantastic, and the character's slow immersion into the local language and culture was very well done.)

Lilyhammer? The mafia and the Witness Protection Program have thankfully not become "ordinary" and "everyday." Certainly the main character tries to play the part of an everyday ex-pat in Norway convincingly, but the sustaining premise of the show is that he fails to do so.
