All the drama in Numb3rs is so underplayed, so quiet like you say - sometimes I would wish for more angst (...okay, more h/c, I always do) but really I love it like this, because it can tackle some fairly heavy topics and not feel that exploitative or preachy about it. Like Don going to temple - there's no major deal being made about it, but it's the first time I can think of a character on TV finding religion that isn't Christianity or a cult. And it's not everything to Don, but it's important to who he is, too.

I like it because it means there are no stereotypes in Numb3rs - no character has one major defining trait, be it their ethnicity or their military past or whatever; the characters are all made up of many details and quirks and beliefs and skills, just like real people.
