I wonder what is causing this. Netflix being unable to buy or create shows to fill demand, Hollywood Writing going downhill, or Executives cancelling shows quickly.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 hours ago

Not to mention execs not being willing to take any risks

Not like there's much else worth watching on Netflix these days.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 5 hours ago

Depends how interested you are in international content. Netflix has most of that.

Especially if you want something semi-lighthearted and around 20-30 minutes.

Its like everything on Netflix is either full drama or dark dramedy with a 40 minute runtime and deep plot.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Deep plots are nice, unfortunately they keep getting cut every couple seasons, so nobody wants to get invested

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 1 points 41 minutes ago

I don't have an issue with serious and complex stories, but it is an issue if that's all you make (or at least are known for).

[–] lukaro@lemmy.zip 1 points 53 minutes ago

I watch shows for deep plots which is why I never watch anything produced by streaming services. Every time I get invested into a show, they make it gets cancelled. Sometimes I don't care if the ending sucks, just give me an ending.

Yeah, and I'm betting most of them are savvy enough to not be bullied into your bullshit, either. Fuck Netflix and its ilk.
