there are thousands of "shows" and they're all equally like 6/10. there are fewer laughably badly made shows than there used to be I guess. but some of those "bad" shows were fun in their own way.
Also, TV shows are all targeted at people who want to see The Same Thing over and over again.

Other than occasional obscure message board posts, virtually no content created since, say, 2008 or so will be entertaining or meaningful or poignant in 25 or 250 years.
There are books, music, movies, plays, TV shows, and fine art from decades or centuries ago that still hold up. It's a shame that next to nothing from the post-modern world seems like it will.

The same boring shitheads are in charge of movies, tv shows, and now video games. Even shit that is celebrated as "interesting" like "One Battle After Another" boils down to some 2d white supremacist (who associates with other comically 2d white supremacist groups) that is a cartoon villain and to the extent there are interesting possibilities (oh, it turns out the biracial girl is actually his daughter!) they are ignored or resolved in the most uninteresting or unrealistic way possible.
This garbage actually won an Academy Award for Best Picture.

Prestige TV is still at a very high level, albeit not the level it was at 15-25 years ago during its initial ascent and peak. The rescue of GoT by HoD/Ho7K especially this last season of HoD was borderline miraculous based on where fan/public sentiment was at in 2019. Because these other streamers, mainly Apple and Peacock, have started to compete with HBO in the space we also get this steady supply of shows that are great but won’t be in the GOAT conversation—eg Widow’s Bay, The Beast in Me, Task, Andor, The Pitt, etc.—which are the last bastion of Hollywood actually making content that commands the attention of the culture based on its merit v the algorithmic strategies to maximize the combo of global brand recognition, Xennial/Millennial nostalgia and zoomer virality potential. Music has been broken since Napster, but there are positive signs that the Gen Z and younger cohort are going to be heard from soon via the combo with short form vertical video, and presumably will break the millennials retarded obsession with half a dozen pop acts dominating 80+% of industry revenue. So much of what when wrong in movies was the combo of capeshit and Covid and the rebound in the last two years has been stilted and regularly interrupted by echoes of the same shittaste instincts that made movies so shitty during the 2010s.
Bottomline millennials, like their shithead boomer parents, have terrible taste and view media as a vehicle for their own self-aggrandizement and through which they can channel their own fantasies of fame and power. Now that they are slowly being pushed aside so that Gen Z takes the reins as the creatives in charge as well as the core of the target demo there’s hope that things will improve substantially.
