Ehhh, I would say it's the age old rule that 90% of everything is crap, it's more just that it has cranked up to like 97% of everything is crap.
Severance and Common Side Effects stand as two shows that recently ran (Common Side Effects has one episode left this season, and Severance season 2 wasn't quite as good but still thoughtful) which are very, very good. I'm just here for Joe Bennett's American Chibi style of art.
Yeah I agree there are some diamonds in the rough i also feel some of the TV shows should be movies the extreme serialization and the cliffhanger endings are very annoying. Especially with the long lag times between seasons it trains people say forget it I will wait till they just release the whole series then binge. But that kills the ratings and then kills the show early and so it's left on a cliffhanger so why bother watching it at all.
Severence is a good example. I know Apple will do a season 3 but we won't see it till 2027. But not to spoil anything but if the series stopped on that scene in episode 10. I would have been so disappointed.
It also drives me nutts how series get to be 10 episodes now. Just because game of thrones did it becase it was adapted on a book it can work well in that medium. But a regular show where each season is broken down by the writers for that season really limits any character growth and makes all the series so plot heavy.
Which is fine when you want to tell a story that is plotted out but TV Execs want to keep a show going even after that story has been told. Shows just run out of steam since there is no characters to hang on to. You look at shows like the office usa or old school star trek they told all kinds of different stories in different genres with the same characters and it kept it fresh. One bad episode didn't ruin the whole storyline they could just try again.
