Yeah but there's way more series made now compared to the 00s and 90s when 20 episodes a season was the norm

    But I have to seek them out every time I finish one and the majority of them are garbage. Before, if I found a show I liked it would last me a while. I can only go back and watch Star Trek so many times.

    I agree, I find browsing for something new all the time tiring. I would prefer a return to 20 episode seasons.

    I thinks that's on purpose so they can keep producing this enormous amount of shitty shows to fill their catalog in order to justify higher subscription prices.

    What tv do you like? (Other than Star Trek)

    Did you not have to "seek out" older series too?

    Off the top of my head - Justified, Deadwood, Breaking Bad, The Last Kingdom, the first half of game of thrones, It's Always Sunny, various Gundam series, Star Wars Clone Wars and Rebels. A few other animes - cowboy bebop, ghost in the shell, etc.

    I did have to seek them out but the point was that I didn't have to do it as often because the show lasted longer. With these short series I have to basically always have "what am I going to watch after this" on my mind. They aren't even long enough to get through an entire weekend if I don't have anything else going on and binge it.

    Foundation is on its third series of tomorrow.

    Warrior (2019), Severance, Dark, Silo, For All Mankind, Dark Matter (2024), The Expanse all may appeal.

    Do you do live-action international series?

    I like your TV taste. Other than the Anime, you and I could be good TV buddies.

    Try The Americans, Mad Men, and the Sopranos. If you liked The Last Kingdom, you'll like Vikings, too.
