Why i hate Modern TV.

60 hours? Most TV shows now are probably about half of that.

Your average TV show was a lot longer in the 00s and 90s.

I find basic "good guy hero protagonist" to be dull

That's why I usually gravitate toward British shows. 6 episode seasons that go on for 4 or 5 seasons. 24-30 episodes are what most shows should be. I wish more countries did this format because I'd be watching a lot more TV from different countries.

'cynical, nihilistic and often morally corrupt character'

Okay, now where's the bad part? 😁

Seriously, I don't have the stamina to stick with lengthy multi-season TV shows, unless it's something I invested in from the start, but I much prefer to watch morally flawed protagonists than boring Mary Sues and Gary Stus. Fuck perfect people. They don't exist in real life, and I find it DEEPLY offensive when TV shows and films pretend such people exist, or that they're remotely compelling to watch. I want to watch people I can feel superior to. I don't need to be 'inspired', because I already live a much virtuous life than the vast majority of society, and all the constructive things I'm NOT doing with my life, are things I already attempted to do, and was denied any advancement.

But I am curious, what shows end up with people turning into 'furries' (I presume you meant that, rather than *ferries*), and other than St. Elsewhere, I'm not aware of any other major TV show that ends with it all turning out to be part of a child's imagination (unless one subscribes to the "everything is part of the Tommy Westphall Universe Theory").

I enjoy morally corrupt characters with a long convoluted story arc…Walter White, Tony Soprano, ‘Jax’ Teller, Saul Goodman…

The bad guys and questionable bastards make for good stories. Heroes can sometimes be a bit of a boring lead.

I like anti heroes and atypical heroes that isn’t the problem per se.

I roll my eyes at all the Wokeisms dull political virtue signalling.

I've only watched a few modern TV shows (serial type, rather than episodic) in their entirety. None of them are among my favorite shows; all of them are highly forgettable since they mostly consist of filler, which is inevitable when trying to spread a story arc over however many episodes are in a season (to say nothing of the series-long arc); and I have no interest in rewatching any of them. Rewatching is too big of a rewind; it's a much bigger rewind than rewatching a movie, or even rewatching a movie plus several sequels, or even rereading a long novel.

All of my favorite TV shows (the ones I rewatch every couple/few years) are episodic and there is no significant rewind when watching them again, because there is no story arc that lasts longer than one episode (or two episodes in the case of the occasional two-part "to be continued" episodes). They range from the 1960s (e.g., Bewitched, Star Trek) to the 1990s (Seinfeld and... nothing else from the 1990s comes to mind), with most of them being from the 1980s when I was a kid (e.g, Magnum, P.I., The Dukes of Hazzard).

And you wonder why I watch older stuff? Preferably anything made before 2015? TV and movies really dropped off a cliff after that year.

Instead you could have watched 60 hours of Lucy (very boring stuff) back when. Sorry Larry David, I stole your joke.
