Why i hate Modern TV.

Modern TV expect me to watch a 60 hours (mostly boring ) movie that usually stars a cynical, nihilistic and often a morally corrupt character. Who spends most of the runtime being a horrible human being until the whole thing ends. Eventually the writers run out of steam. Even if it started out good. It eventually turns to shit and then it ends horribly like turning out that it was a child imagination, they turn into ferries or the screen goes black. And if the main character is not morally corrupt, hes there just fucking dull. Its no wonder people are watching more Youtube than this shit.

You know TVs have an off button, just saying. Maybe go outside smell some fresh air.

Signed, million man.

It ain't all bad. Just be selective.

If you haven't already, I recommend you check out Room 104 (anthology series set in one hotel room) and Severance (series about people whose minds get blanked when they go to work).

Yeah. Most of those streaming series are just loaded w/ filler. Its mainly assembly line trash.

I'd argue that's no more true than it was 30 years ago. There's plenty of unique content being made now.

Most TV 20-30 years ago was police/medical/legal procedurals.
