    Eh, most TV shows in the 80s, 90s and 00s were cheap hangout sitcoms, cop shows, medical shows or legal shows. Pretty basic stuff. TV now is much more adventurous than then.

      Well yeah a split between comedy and drama. I would say 90’s were better than the 80’s and felt like the aughts was where you got all the consolidation and plethora of cheap reality shows. I sorta feel like now technology made cheap adventure shows easier to do so they took the place of reality tv.

        You would never get shows like Foundation, or House of the Dragon, or Fallout or Silo or For All Mankind in the 90s or 00s.

        Plus we now have a plethora of international content.

          I will give you the international but like all those shows where just sorta alright to me with fallout being on the low side and foundation on the high. Im very happy the special effects are where they are at but I feel the stories could be better and oftentimes by just following the source material better.

            Chernobyl, Dark, Severance, Warrior (2019), Succession, Shogun, Andor, Slow Horses, Dopesick, The Pitt, The Expanse, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Babylon Berlin, Beef

            I haven’t seen all of these, but they’re all hgihly rated. Notably the strengths of Foundation, ironically, is where it ignores the source material.


            I do agree the 00s and 90s were better for sitcoms though, and episodic shows.

              Chernobyl was very good as was severance. Expanse was very good but I felt it sorta lost its momentum after a season or two Not sue on andor but like with the madolorian I started to feel if anything with an ip like star wars did not suck it was louded as so awesome. Many of those I have not seen as well but I have sorta given up on media so I will increasingly be unplugged. I guess its more than just media Im really just dissatisfied with the way everything is going and looking to sorta opt out of everything that I don’t absolutely need. I have been feeling very learyesque.
