2016: “we can’t kill lesbian and gay characters anymore there’s a trope and all and people would hate us”
“let me think about it for a minute we’ll find a solution”
2020s: “i got it! we bury THE WHOLE SHOW”
“genius! But how?”
“low viewership!”
“even when we renew other content with the same engagement?”
“low continued engagement? low viewership in the long run? Idk we’ll figure an excuse everytime we cancel one”
“no harm in trying!”
#streaming tv ruined tv#rewatching 90s show makes you see that it’s not quality tv that’s being renewed#it’s trendy tv that’s being given a chance#campy shows survived on networks with slow but engaging first seasons#they were character driven#‘bad’ shows were able to develop a cult but loyal following#shows like charmed and buffy would be axed in today’s tv#and that’s the decline of the silver screen#angie rants#ignore#warrior nun#first kill#the wilds
