I guess I just hope both Netflix and Hollywood step up their game, I'm pretty bored with both of them. I don't really care about super heroes, or watch kids dancing, or another stupid Adam Sandler movie. But I burn through the handful of Netflix shows I really like in a day or two, and then spend months in between them hoping they bring Futurama back.

but you, like me (with the exception of super hero movies... my guilty pleasure. They've taken the place of Star Wars) are probably old (Futurama was a tip off). And by the very definition of old, not the future. To quote Invader Zimm, "Go die now." =)

  I love new things in arts and entertainment, but I feel like we're in a bit of a shovel-ware/and also moment in film where there's one hit and 100 crappy imitators. This isn't a problem per se, but it reminds me of some moments in music or video games in the last 20 years. I'm bullish on the Netflix model more or less, but I can't say I love their content lately.

      Mind Hunter was the last new show that I kind of liked, and I do think it's worth watching. But I also think the bar is really set low for these shows. Most of them feel like good movies that are stretched out into a series of shows. The beauty of great television is a show that has a great arc, but also where the episodes can stand on their own. You could watch one episode of the first couple seasons of the Sopranos, and be moved by it without ever watching the rest of the show.

  I'm not sure Invader Zim and Futurama are tip offs of being old... My peers and I are in our mid-20s and lots enjoy both of those shows.

  I know this is tounge-in-cheek, but a bit harsh. There's a huge wealthy aging cohort interested in entertainment.
