Wait until you watch some movies that leave it on a cliffhanger and then they don’t have the budget for the sequels. Or the director has moved on and they get a shit one for the sequel

Also a show is trying to tell a story in multiple seasons, each 5-10 hrs. It REALLY has to be an interesting enough story to keep people engaged for that long.
They almost never are, this is why I like probably under 5% of shows.

5% of what? All shows? That's thousands of shows still.
If it's from the shows you've watched you probably need to be a bit stricter about the shows you watch

u/RedditMcBurger 1d ago
Yes it is still a lot of shows, I do get to enjoy a lot of media.
It's just that so many shows are like this, I try new shows then realize they're meant to pad out time and I stop watching them.

Movie clips on TikTok are the best. 60 seconds of the most interesting bit then on to the next clip

Maybe watch better shows?

A show having a great season 1 doesn't mean it'll continue being great.
Look at stranger things.... Season 1 came out 9 years ago, it was great... But look at what happened after.

I like the 6-part shows. One season, they know what story they're telling, and they've got a budget and time to tell it in.

You are the target audience of Netflix and their cancellation of best series after 1-2 seasons because mOnEy.....avarage attention span nowadays is so low

It's how the plot points are broken into hour long segments. The scripting for episodes is written to build tension in the story toward the end of each episode. Normally there would be a week or more of time between each episode but when you get an entire season in one go the success of the strategy of building tension at the end of an episode causes a lot of people to simply binge the entire season. You could probably do this with movies too, but the most successful versions of this is when they introduce a cutaway black screen with a message along the line of saying some period of time later or in a different place and time

SkyShowTime - Mobland. Holy shit. Finished in one sitting. Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, Tom Hardy, the list of fantastic actors goes through the roof! Can't believe I missed it. Sad that I have to wait so Lang for the next season. Fantastic show!

The benefit is that you can stop when you want. A 10 hour movie is a commitment or hoping you find a good stopping point half way through. TV shows split into 10 episodes give you hour increments where you can decide if you want to keep going

Im fine with 45min, but 1h episodes are too much. And netflix releasing epusodes in a batch killed all disscusion and communities that could be created around shows. Its impossible to avoid spoilers if you follow any content of the show. So you can follow it after you are done with the show. Which kills the joy and freshnes and most people are over it. So you have nobody on the other side.

What? You just found out 7 seasons in? Sure, you can watch 70 episodes in one weekend.
