Today’s television was made for the people who did it, who were afraid of it

By whom Does your favorite show only produce six to eight episodes a season, when twenty-six episodes used to be the norm?
By whom Does it take two to three years to produce these small numbers of characters, when the shows are used to release the season every year?
By whom Did a beloved show or sci-fi show start doing musical episodes or a puppet episode?
By whom Do the news and dialogue structures in all parts of television now resemble mid-level work, more like a 1980s soap opera?
By whom Is everything on television suddenly shot in front of a green screen, instead of going on location or a simple plot, despite episodes of the most basic television program costing as much as a full movie production?
By whom Does every television show, yes children’s shows, seem to be pushing a political agenda, even if it has anything to do with the show?
By whom Is everything visually new, boring, and lacking in color? Why are the scenes filtered in so much darkness that you can’t see what’s going on?
The answer to all these questions and all the questions you may have about the modern decline in the quality of screen entertainment is the same answer. That answer is: Television shows don’t work anymore because of the audience. They are made for the people who make them.
It becomes obvious when you start watching old interviews of cast and crew from shows that were produced in the 1990s. Most of those conversations are very focused around the difficult television production, it took a lot of work to show, how difficult, when they work hard to make sure they give you something great.
The difficulty, the insane amount of work involved in making television, is why movie actors used to stick with movies as much as possible. Now, movie actors and television actors are changing, and it’s not because the movie stars felt like they were working long hours.
Watch Cast and Crew FUNCTION interviews from anything in production now, and instead of talking about how hard they work, you’ll see people joking about how much they loved the casting or how much they loved the creative services. Sometimes they will openly reveal things like, it was all shot on a green screen, because they didn’t want to drive over a block from their house to get to their set to get to their set to get to their set to get to their set to get to their set to get to their set to get to their set to get to their set to get to their set to get to their set to get to their set to get to their set to get to their set in their set to get to their set.
Stranger Things Season 5 spent about $100 million per episode. It’s an insane amount of money to produce a television show, and it makes it one of the most expensive things Netflix has ever produced.
However, many scenes in the fifth Stranger Things The season looks like the cast is standing in front of a storefront wall. Where did the money go? Most of the members are still lighting, and it is quite a big organization, made about $5 to $10 million.
Stranger Things Season 5 is meant to give the cast and crew one last, big payday before the show goes off the air. Not to deliver a quality product that its viewers will enjoy.
Star Trek: The New World did a musical episode last year. Meanwhile, the Average Star Trek Fan is a 55-year-old male engineer who recently joined a chess club and likes to play Civilization on the weekends. You’re looking at something like this:
Obviously, it’s not made for Star Trek fans to watch the show. Who likes music? Players. The cast all grew up acting in the slums of high school and learned to sing and dance as backup to act.
One piece of music A new unknown world they are made for broadcasting. Not a show audience of Chess players and neuroscientists. And you can tell when you look at it, because they all have a blast.
In addition to making a lot of money, not working too hard, and enjoying their favorite hobbies on set, actors like to show their emotional range. That’s why it’s almost always Star Trek: The New World The episode appears for some reason to be in Spock to participate in an emotional situation, although it should not be emotional.
This is the poster for Star Trek’s New show:
It’s a drama series about teen angst, sort of Dawson’s Creek. Who is that showing that? It is obvious that it will not be for people who are interested in Star Trek, a show about the future and exploration.
Starfleet Academy series of writers and actors. Like almost every television show, it is based on the desire of antiques to show their ability to convey emotional depth. Meanwhile, Star Trek is a show about ideas, not emotional depth.
It’s possible that almost every television show now looks like you’re watching a bad Mexican telenovela. It’s not because of the audience; To any sane viewer, that type of programming seems ridiculous and out of style in the late 1980s. For the actors who do, however, they offer a worthy performance.
This situation even reaches animation. After years of waiting, the anime series One Punch In The Afternoon has been returned for a third season only to bring a humbled show made mostly of lazy, low details. The fans are slow, but still watching. This means that the people who made the punch one man season 3 will still receive it It’s a big day to pay for doing less than the bare minimum, even if the audience watching you gets an unsatisfying feeling.
Once you see it, you won’t be able to stop seeing it.
What about all the political talk used in everything? It’s a good thing to sign so show devis can brag to their friends about their approval. It has nothing to do with making the end product perfect for you.
Why are there eight more episodes of a show where all that happens is someone walking in an office building, and why are they being let go every two or three years? Because it’s easy, and the broadcast production industry has completely set itself up to get paid the same for doing less of it.
Why is your favorite show scary now? Because it’s not for you. It is done by the people who do it.
