Better shows basically, revolution is just another network show that needs to fill half the episodes with crap in order to fill the 20+ episode season order. It also needs to appeal to the greatest possible audience so will try to be as PC and family orientated as possible. Thus you won't see many network shows tackling intelligent or controversial topics, and some scenes will be absurdly toned down, such as when characters never swear no matter what and in sex scenes bras are never removed. You will see it happen with pretty much every network show. Cable shows on HBO, FX, AMC and Showtime stick to a more reasonable 10-13 episodes which make for much better and entertaining shows and aren't afraid to be controversial. The British model is even better, series tell a story and then finish. Probably why shows like Sherlock, IT Crowd, Inbetweeners, Black Books, Fawlty Towers are so amazing.
