How did OTT shows we once loved become OTT shows we can barely finish?

Is television bad now or are we just buried under an avalanche of content that nobody really wants to watch? Between the inflated franchises, the OTT emissions led by algorithms and the fatigue of prestige, the small screen is smaller than ever.

My recent rage fight / frustration / the acceptance resigned was invited by the punch dyingly one two Calmar gamethe last season and the fourth episode of The bear. Unlike some, I really enjoyed the sometimes hot season of the first, but it’s the third? He awkwardly kills the most interesting players at first, but without much emotional impact or payment; Includes twists and turns at the head of the head that pay no attention to the development of the previous characters; Feels strangely slow and dull for a spectacle on mass murder; uses a baby CGI that hurts my eyes; And then ends with Cate Blanchett throwing Calmar gameAmerican spin-off. (Can anyone explain to me why the double winner of the Oscars played Ddakji in Los Angeles?)

The games themselves and the strange and childish design remain impeccable, but the same unfortunately cannot be said for the show as a whole. How, I wondered, was this cultural phenomenon reduced to this?

Then I made the mistake of going directly to the new season of The bear. Its quality was less a shock, simply because season three was such a decomposition – a pretentious and pretentious endurance test with a single episode of buyout (the “ towels ” led by Ayo Edebiri, which is really brilliant).

Season four is perhaps more observable overall, but has no perfect episodes (although the “verses” focused on SYD get closer) – it has a handful of interesting moments, but is, mainly, a collection of very prolonged and not particularly engaging intrigue points until we reach a conclusion (very predictable). Will this restaurant survive? In the end, honestly, I really didn’t care.

How did the spectacle that gave us the family nightmare of “fish”, happy tears of “forks”, the traveler’s travel point of Copenhagen of “honey” and the 20-minute panic attack of the “critic” of season one, did he finish in a place where he made me roll my eyes and scroll in white through my phone when I looked at it?

And it’s not just these two programs. The first half of this year presented much more than its fair share of very publicized disappointments. There was The last of usThe second outing of the second explosive season, the post-apocalyptic thriller returned with a decent first episode and a really eliminated second episode, an almost autonomous action epic, but then slowly dropped in the confused conspiracy and inertia.
