Shelve space is limited and TV production is quite expensive, thus, risk averse. It's more like a music store with everything, up to you to find what you like.

That's kind of my point, too. It's not about artistry or telling a story as much as it is about reliable profit. And that's why our content becomes more and more similar and more and more "reliable". Maybe in a few years there will be another Blair Witch wildcard that will draw a stark contrast from the monotamy that we have. And then the production companies will be hard at work trying to figure out how to recreate whatever the new cool formula is, resulting in a race down a different path to the same bottom.
