Like ok
I fully understand it’s the age of the cellphone and they have some ppl who doomscroll while watching tv.
But almost EVERY show barring a few extreme exceptions on cable
Seems to have a moment about 35 minutes to 38 minutes into the run time.
Where all the characters have to stand around and explain Everything that’s happened lest the viewer forget or not understan like they have to hand hold the viewer to the conclusion and even then it will be a stupid problem that would of been solved with a simple solution.
Or a plot device that will be mentioned later has to be shown, or discussed dozens of times.
It’s like they think people are too stupid to follow a plot point or something these days
Viewers are their own worst enemy.
People bitch about the quality of tv these days, but then won’t give anything actually intelligent a chance they just rather watch some stupid shit like laws of attraction or big bang
