That's mostly Disney content. Most series are 8-10 episodes long still, and there's more series made than there was in the 90s and 00s.

What TV shows do you like, OP?
I never said that there shouldn't be any social consequences. He can be removed by Netflix, lose job offers, be boycotted - but suggesting he is pro-pedophilia is a particularly nasty, slanderous allegation. Being deliberately offensive or nasty in your joke telling routine doesn't mean you endorse the topics you joke about actually happening.
You are free to think he is a dick for hid chosen themes of joking, but it doesn't mean he endorses pedophilia.
And I have no problems with child rape being the subject of a joke. It is obviously a hard MA, and not for everyone - but then that is part of RG overall point.
I don’t know his thoughts. But I know that he could not make that kind of jokes without at least being very complacent about pedophilia, and I would say that he probably considers that it’s not such a big issue.
This is highly speculative. It is possible to make what might be considered revolting jokes about anything without actually endorsing it. Plenty of comedians have done this in the past.
If you say that jews should be exterminated, are you a nazi? I would say that whether it’s the case or not, the impact of what you say serves the nazi ideology either way. And that’s enough for me to consider it a problem, especially if like in Gervais’ show, this message is completely unilateral and not defused at all.
I've seen plenty of grim jokes about Jews in relation to the holocaust or nazi germany from people, but at no point did I think that they were literally endorsing the holocaust. Also, Gervais jokes about all sorts of things. Are you suggesting this 'pro-pedophilia' joke thing is some sort of continual theme or just a one-off joke?
Sorry, your opinion on the quality of the joke aside... are you unironically suggesting that Ricky Gervais is pro-pedophilia? That he literally thinks it should be legalised?
Gervais advocated, unironically, pedophilia?
"Warrior is expected to debut on Netflix in February 2024. If it does well, Netflix could presumably order a new season of the drama based on an original concept and treatment by Bruce Lee, sources tell Deadline exclusively."
There's some hope, at least.
Honestly, for all the objections I have when people decry modern TV and the golden age as ending, TV copying film and becoming bogged down in spin-offs and sequels will start to hurt the industry in terms of quality
I really hope we don't see a glut of spin-offs across the streamers. People should be less credulous.
There are other ones too like See, Hello Tomorrow, Invasion although they're less well rated.
If you're into sci-fi, Apple probably is a must at this point: Severance, Silo, For All Mankind, Monarch, Foundation
I would support the end of all geoblocks, or the legalisation of piracy for shows unaccessible to particular countries (for the citizens within)
It has nothing in common with Xena other than being in the fantasy genre.
You may not like GOT, but that doesn't make it awful.
