I’m not watching TV much. But I think I was hit with that as well.
From a creative and entertainment production point of view, I think it’s hard to end a show well. I loved Breaking Bad and it was great, but I can’t remember how it ends because the end is meh. And it is not the point really, it is the journey through the five seasons.
The end of shows is rarely great. But I think it’s far worse now. It gets bad and plot-less out of nowhere. Directors hide themselves behind the “that was my vision; I’m an artist” while I look at long ass shots that mean nothing and maybe everything? Ugh.
The last episodes of Atlanta gave me that vibe and I couldn’t care less about the characters then. Just lame semi-open endings. No resolution, just emptiness and stereotypes.
The incentive is to make people talk about shows, make them obsessed by starvation. It might have worked for a minute, but I think it’s killing the relationship between creator and viewer. It is abusive.
Stay safe y’all.
