It still transcended that.

What? There’s tons of TV shows, many high budget, released in the last year
It sounds like the OP wants ‘monster of the week’ stuff
Network TV still does police and medical shows that have a ‘monster/crime of the week’ style, but it’s rare now.
So you mostly like episodic formats.
Do you actually like serialised content? Most TV is now serialised, as opposed to being episodic like X-Files.
got is like a bad off brand xenia warrior princess…
It has nothing in common with Xena other than being in the fantasy genre.
You may not like GOT, but that doesn’t make it awful.
That’s mostly Disney content. Most series are 8-10 episodes long still, and there’s more series made than there was in the 90s and 00s.
What TV shows do you like, OP?
I would argue this is more damaging than most things for places like Lemmy. The wrong people pick up the communities and just abandon them or completely mismanage them. Can’t be helped though.
Third, Christian nationalism is, again, not relevant to these people. They do not see it as real nor do they see it as a real problem. They may engage with this discussion. So I don’t see a need to reword this one.
The literal current Republican speaker of the House stated outright that the USA is “depraved” and key parts of his reasoning for this was the prominence of LGBT people in modern culture and declining church attendance and religious observation.
I fully agree that your average random Republican doesn’t necessarily hate LGBT people, or non-theists but they’re simply not paying attention to the outrageous crap many elected representatives are saying.
Unfortunately, many Republican elected representatives are, to varying degrees, anti-LGBT and do support Christian encroachment into non-religious people’s lives.
I’m doing it to drive traffic to communities I run (and the platform in a more general sense). I’m not a bot, I don’t care about personal upvotes or boosts. Small reddit-like sites need content.
Thing about the 20-24 episode format was that it felt different from films. A modern TV season, to me, feels like a stretched out film. Older TV felt more like chill time … like going to a restaurant you like and visit once a week … like hanging with friends. Which may or may not be laudable … but I think it was a different feeling from films.
You can still find that format in network TV. Of course it’s mostly police, medical and lawyer shows but then that was always the case then anyway. A lot of younger people don’t like the MOTW of the week ‘chilled’ format because everything felt irrelevant. The plot would resolve within the episode and the team would live, except maybe on a mid-season episode or end of-season arc. Everything would feel flat. Most modern TV shows are indeed now long-form movies (if we’re being reductive) but the extra time to build and advance wider plots and do larger worldbuilding is why, or partially why, they’ve eaten into the diversity of contemporary cinema.
I mean this is a specific format of the west. Korean dramas, for instance, do not necessarily have that format. I assume you’ve watched Severance, by the way.
Otherwise I would note Dark, Foundation, Altered Carbon
I also don’t see it’s substantively more notable than the old 20-24 episode monster of the week format that was prominent prior to streamnig.
Did you like the shows you listed there?
For my money, I’d just gotten tired of the whole streaming TV schtick. Modern TV seasons are too often written like cheap LOTR trilogies (8-12 x 40-60 mins = LOTR trilogy runtime) with filler and contrived drama or stakes. Compared to a decent or good film, modern TV kinda sucks IMO. I’m rather sad right now TBH.
What modern TV have you seen? What sort of thigs do you like?
I said steam storefront, so I don’t mean specifically asking for a subscription service. I mean if I want to watch a TV show now, I have to subscribe to a service. There’s no option to buy it digitally in most cases.
True, but this is also because there’s no Steam Storefront option for people who like to watch TV.
It’s mostly Netflix that dumps it all at once.
HBO, Apple TV and Prime still usually do staggered releases.
