In the old world, entertainment was a campfire. You gathered around it at a specific time—8/7 Central—and you watched the flames dance together. The watercooler was a physical object, and the "cliffhanger" was a problem you had to wait until next September to solve.
Today, entertainment is not a campfire. It is a hydra. It is a thousand screens glowing in the dark, a constant drip of algorithmic slurry, a prestige drama on your left, a three-hour podcast on your right, and a TikTok recap of a Netflix documentary playing above your head.
We are living through the most democratized, abundant, and exhausting era of popular media ever conceived. And somehow, we have never been more bored.
We are currently in the "Peak TV" hangover.
We are currently living through the fallout of "Peak TV." In 2015, there were 400+ original scripted TV series. In 2024, that number dropped significantly as studios pulled back. The gold rush is over. Consumers are suffering from subscription fatigue, juggling Netflix, Hulu, Max, Apple TV+, Prime Video, and Peacock.
The economic reality is brutal: creating high-quality entertainment content and popular media is expensive. As a result, studios are pivoting to two strategies: Franchise (Marvel, DC, Star Wars) and Reality/Lifestyle (cheap unscripted content). The middle-class movie—the mid-budget drama starring character actors—has largely migrated to A24 or streaming exclusives. This bifurcation means audiences are either watching a $300 million superhero epic or a $2,000 home renovation YouTube channel, with very little in between.
