I'm aware that barely anyone agrees with me, people love their TV stories. Might have even ranted about this before, I just really have a problem with the pacing and style of writing on TV, it's just a never ending cycle of subplots and new characters introduced and then abandoned. So unfocused and still set in that framework that's built to sell commercial time even thought most of the best stuff is on HBO and Netflix. It's artistically compromised in my opinion.

Another thing, who has time to watch an entire season, some shows approach 20 hours. Or if you decide to tackle a series with over 5 seasons, get the hell out of here. And for all the talk about how the quality of TV has improved and talent has been drawn to the networks, the visual effects are still subpar.

I'll probably still watch season 2 of Jessica Jones though, haha!
