It feels like most TV shows/movies, and I specifically mean TV shows not meant for children, meat one of these failure points:
- are being written for viewers who've only seen one or two TV shows before in their lives
- are dry riding an interesting tagline or source material's popularity and do not give af about respecting it
- most episodes, if not all, usually not the pilot and finale, feel like they were planned and written at the last-minute in isolation by roving bands of ghost writers whose job description is to write filler content and constantly switch between random IPs they have no previous knowledge of.
- are Marvelizing
- get canceled while considered good and popularity is hot and rising.
- get offered no budget while generic stuff gets insane budgets.
- get passed over while unnecessary remakes and reboots take their place
- remakes/reboots pretending they are sequels (e.g. Star Wars 7)
almost can't even think of an example of that
