I've in the mindset that good chefs can do really good food without too much sugar, salt and fat, but for someone used to sugar it can sometime feel bland, until you start to cut down on it and suddenly you appreciate an oyster (for example) way more. It's the same with action packed, jumping from skyscraper to skyscraper, kind of movies and fantasy-books. In that sense the Beck-series with its realism (real police-work) and bland social surface only needed the social commentary to get a grip of you after a heavy non-action diet which to me signifies good authors.
