I haven't enjoyed a single prestige or cable show that I can think of in the last 10-ish years. I don't subscribe to any of the streaming services, and I don't watch much cable TV. I only have the damn thing because it's cheaper than just having the internet, and my mother watches some of the cable-only channels.
The last big/new shows I tried to watch were Shannara (love the books and the PC game, bounced off the show) and Rings of Power which I didn't enjoy. The only Disney related property I've watched in that time is the new Tron movie and I saw that in a theater. SSSS.Gridman was disappointing, Gamera Rebirth deserves less love than I give it as a Gamera fan, the Godzilla trilogy wasn't worth its budget and I don't enjoy Singular Point.
Being perfectly honest, the main reason I turn on the TV lately is to watch shows from before 1980 (usually on DVD), and the only reason I connect to a transmission is for local news.
Well okay, but I do like modern streaming shows and would like them to keep being made.
Then you can pay for that specialized, expensive "experience". That should not be the standard - as you said, those things can be "prestige" for the rich or the irresponsible. The standard should be the free service
I mean it's not the standard. You don't have to subscribe to these services. There are free services that have TV shows you can watch.
