Television shows can romanticize anything if they're written right. I tend to get enthralled with the medical based ones such as E.R. or House M.D. personally. There are shows about every high-brow careers though. Lawyers, detectives, executives, chefs - these have all been portrayed. Effectively too. The public eats up the lingo and weird particulars about each profession.
So where are the accounting dramas?
With all of the ongoing scandals, writers certainly have fodder to feed off of. Ethics, corruption, and politics are a persistent factor within the profession. Is the public's perception of accounting that dull that even writers can't imagine surmounting it?
