It seems shows like Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and The Wire were a fluke with how TV shows are currently either “slow burns” with no plans to develop a character arc or action heavy plots where every beat is announced ahead of time. Is TV written so much for second screens now that I should stick to reading books or ARE there outliers in a sea of writing that appeals to people who aren’t paying attention?
