    Well yeah a split between comedy and drama. I would say 90’s were better than the 80’s and felt like the aughts was where you got all the consolidation and plethora of cheap reality shows. I sorta feel like now technology made cheap adventure shows easier to do so they took the place of reality tv.

      You would never get shows like Foundation, or House of the Dragon, or Fallout or Silo or For All Mankind in the 90s or 00s.

      Plus we now have a plethora of international content.

        I will give you the international but like all those shows where just sorta alright to me with fallout being on the low side and foundation on the high. Im very happy the special effects are where they are at but I feel the stories could be better and oftentimes by just following the source material better.

          Chernobyl, Dark, Severance, Warrior (2019), Succession, Shogun, Andor, Slow Horses, Dopesick, The Pitt, The Expanse, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Babylon Berlin, Beef

          I haven’t seen all of these, but they’re all hgihly rated. Notably the strengths of Foundation, ironically, is where it ignores the source material.


          I do agree the 00s and 90s were better for sitcoms though, and episodic shows.
