I love House, most jokes in that show are very funny and a bit scathing but at least they make fun of everyone and everything. Much better than nowadays, where most comedy is very plain and safe.
Alright I’ll bite, give me some examples of good shows with multiple layers of storytelling, interesting characters and engaging story telling that were made in the last five years. And as I’ve said in another comment, I know there’s still some good ones out there (The Boys, Gen V, Blue eye samurai, Better call Saul, After life), my point is that it feels like there’s less of these while the total amount of shows has only increased over time.
After rereading my comment I’m sorry that I started out so aggressively. That wasn’t fair to you.
I think the feeling of fewer good shows coming out stems from a few places.
The shows that we remember tend to be the ones that left a lasting impact. I think that when looking back it’s important to recognize our nostalgia tinted lense.
The feeling that there’s so many more shows may come from the accessibility that streaming services have created. Scrolling through massive catalogs let’s us see the massive amount of options and how few of them we actually want to engage with. I’d argue that the ratio of good to bad shows isn’t substantially different from before, but how we engage with these shows have changed. Admittedly, I haven’t counted all of the good and bad recent shows and then compared that with the amount of good and bad shows from a couple decades ago.
“They don’t make shows like they uses to,” is the type of thing people have said forever when their tastes stop developing and the cultural zeitgeist moves on without them.
In addition to the shows you mentioned, I would add, The Bear, The Last of Us, Arcane, and Our Flag Means Death.
I enjoyed it for the first 3 seasons then it just got to predictable. To be fair it always was but I was hoping that at least once house wasnt the one who found the solution and let someone else get a W

What the fuck are you talking about? Watch more shows.

How the fuck are you getting upvotes for lashing out? Lemmy fucktards out here clapping each other on the back for being absolutely vile.

I’m kind of amused by the image of the great Thranduil sitting down after doing thranduil stuff to watch some House.
Is thranduil an actual character? I dont remember how I choose this name probably randomizer
Yeah. He’s a pretty big deal in Middle Earth
