I agree. It now costs a lot less to propel TV to have “good enough” special effects that nearly rival movies. Pair that with better plots and more time for telling stories, it’s not hard to see why TV is more enjoyable these days.
- ghaff 5y agoIt's not just that TV has more time but, with streaming, TV has a lot more flexibility to choose the right amount of time and the right format. Aside from the odd miniseries, traditional broadcast TV was pretty much limited to 30 minute and 60 minute slots with ads, typically in episodic form although that started to change with VCRs and then, especially, DVRs. Oh, and there was a significant incentive to hit enough episodes for syndication deals.
