      Hard agree. We need to go back to weekly low budget slop. I don’t need a 9 episode cinematic drama that ends on a cliffhanger that will never be resolved. I need a thing I can sit down and reliably enjoy week after week after week. I want hundreds of episodes of incomprehensible lore and characters that develop in wacky ways as the writers try to keep it interesting. Basically I’m saying every TV show should become One Piece

        star trek used to higher unknown actors; now they literally have to pay through the nose for the likes of known names anson mount, paul giamatti, and holly hunter.

      I’m okay with shorter seasons but not when they commonly have like 2 years before the next season releases. By that time, I’ve forgotten everything that happened or stopped caring altogether. They have no confidence in their products so they don’t even start production until they see if the first few episodes do ironman numbers.
