Movie studios get bagged for going with easy options. Sequels, well-worn stories, remakes. Basically repeating themselves instead of coming up with original stories and characters.
Knowing that viewers will return to what they know and love.
Safe bets.
Ok.
Whereas from the Sopranos onwards we're in a "golden age" of great, original television.
Isn't television just tapping into this same mindset though?
Same characters and setting week after week, season after season. Don't need to come up with anything brand new. Essentially sequel after sequel after sequel.
Is that why we're in a television golden age? Sure bets for production companies. Viewers who will roll in season after season because they're invested. Repeat customers. Milked for all it's worth.

If you like Ted Lasso you should check out Last Man on Earth. 4 seasons available on Disney plus.
"Corny as hell but damned if it doesn't make me smile" is precisely how I would describe it.
Plus Jason Sudeikis is fairly prominent in it, especially from the 2nd season
I reckon streaming services have helped with that.
More opportunities to try out new shows.
I don't watch normal TV so I have no idea what it's like these days
It wouldn't compete for any critical awards but I've been enjoying the lethal weapon series on prime. A bit OTT here and there with the action stuff, but that's in keeping with the original. Good fun characters and quite well written. Worth the 40 minutes to see how you go with episode 1.
I've been meaning to watch The Expanse. I love sci-fi and the recent Star Trek series were pretty disappointing. I've heard The Orville is okay but I'm not a big Seth McFarlane fan so I haven't watched it yet.

Absolutely, his comedy is admittedly way out there and total slapstick, but as a lifelong lover of physical comedy, I have a real soft spot for him as well. Some of the set ups on this show is Champagne comedy IMO!

The Expanse is one of the best shows ever. Period.

Cancelled it right after season 4, and right before an actual Pandemic, might have something to do with it

Not sure If these have been mentioned
Grimm is a good super natural series. Six seasons.
The Ozark
Lucifer.
Witcher ( one season so far). Pretty close to the books/ games.
Lost in Space ( new series, not the old black and white classic)

Do I dare ask if anyone watched the Friends reunion show?

Yeah I watched most of it even though I wasn't a big friends fan. It was not bad. Most of them look old and haven't aged overly well. LeBlanc been hitting the buffet. Perry seemed off. Aniston still looks great for her age. If your a friend's fan well worth a look.
