Life is hard. I'm the end, TV is primarily a distraction from that. Is that so bad?
My gripe isn't really with vapid, simplistic TV shows; you can just choose not to watch that. It's that the current model of streaming services funding production seems to kill anything that doesn't fit that mold.
Fair enough, I feel like that's especially true for Netflix right now, in my opinion. I'm really enjoying some of the Apple TV shows right now, like Silo and Severance, that are a bit "meatier," intellectually speaking.
