I wonder if 2+ years between seasons is also having an impact.
I pick up new shows way less than I did in the past because of this with the ones I do being more tied to whether it is a miniseries or source material I plan to read after the season ends to finish it out on my own.
Personally I think more time between releases is healthier for both the quality of the product and the now not perpetually consooming, consumer.
What really puts me off is that shows get canceled too often nowadays, even ones that do well because the service doesnt want to pay the cast better. So I tend to wait for shows to complete before I even consider them for my watchlist.
I haven't seen a quality improvement. Only a production improvement which had made the wait even worse when the long awaited seasons flop like The Boys and House of the Dragon.
It's reason I haven't bothered to get into shows like Severance despite good reviews, since I don't want to get hooked into yet another show that will take forever between seasons and not even be a guarantee to be worth the wait.
