Normal people can’t afford it like the rich can and shows about losers are depressing.
Why do you need a show about normal people?
You're surrounded by normal people
Exactly... Fuck that lifestyle.

That was a joke due to the English name, but Brazil is actually pretty good at making shows and movies about normal, ordinary people.
Brazilian show.
All cast is white.
Check out.
Depends on how you define white then, is it just skin color? Maybe you're right, but I know plenty of Brazilians that are indistinguishable from white people. We can't call them less Brazilian because they're fairer than the averagei guess real crime is choosing entire cast that is fairer than average and the show being promoted about average people.
There's so much low-hanging fruit regarding topics and themes TV could be written about, but those are all "mundane" and not glamorous. The Pitt might be the closest thing to seeing normal people in a prestige show (not sure if it's considered prestige but at least it's getting a lot of attention).
For example, you could write a great drama or comedy about people moving away from a big city to work remotely from home in a small town.
