Post-post and meta-meta concepts were really cool and interesting when they first popped up in indie circles back in the 90s, and even when they hit the mainstream in the late 00s. But now it feels like we've seen all these jokes, fourth wall breaks, and gritty, realistic remakes of everything. Instead of seeming like a writer's original ideas inspired by the real world, it just looks like they're copying from other shows and movies for no better reason than "everybody is doing it."
Honestly, it's time to move on and find some other way to tell stories.

- golergka 4y agoI love all these shows, but they are building their own storytelling techniques instead of trying to repeat Community. Which was awesome and still looks great, but inspired too many mediocre screenwriters in 2010s.
