Never watched Squid Game. Never watched Stranger Things. Never watched RoP, or any of the mass viral marketed stuff shilled and spammed here periodically.
If the media is free and they're still advertising here than you are the product
Better ending: >Main character arrives back home, maybe he wants revenge and makes some motions like looking into hiring mercenaries >But he realizes he has to keep his daughter, his friend's mom, and the North Korean girl's brother safe >And it's also become apparent that even with the equivalent of 20 million bucks he's still a pretty small frish in the world of sadistic oligarchs >Meanwhile the detective escapes back to his station and is taken aside by his boss. The Games have the support of the various governments. >Capitalism wins, but the scene in the parking garage where the old man's anti-altruism stance is rebutted provides a little hope.
Instead, they just had to set up a sequel. We'll have another group tossed in that we'll know not to invest in and the MC will beat up a few baddies.
It was a fad tv show, it's here to blitz the market with it's viral marketing campaign and be just interesting enough to watch but not complex enough to scare off the average brainlet boomer. It doesn't have the depth to last a decade and that's by design so that it can make room for the next billion dollar fad to come in and generate another huge burst of revenue for netflix instead of having pump resources into a waning series.
>it's insane to think that Breaking Bad has existed for nearly half my life now. It still feels relatively new.
Maybe we have reached the end of history. Like we really haven't progressed or created any kind of unique vibe since the late 00's/early 10's. Any of the cast members walking around now wouldn't even raise an eyebrow, unlike a 20's flapper, 50's family, or an 80's punk with a rat tail.
We're supposed to dress up as Squid Game with the crew, with guards and players the whole shebang, but it feels weird to do it 2 days after the SK Crush.
Asian women are ugly and asian men are short. How the fuck is Asia the most populated continent on the Earth by a mile when everything about everyone there is so nonconducive to reproduction?
>dainty, feminine nose
she has a both wider and shorter nose, you can barely see the nose bridge, and doing an eyelid surgery and caking your face in white powder doesnt make you look better
Best era of TV was the prestige era in the late 00's/early 10's where it was taken seriously and well-funded and you still had to tune in for broadcasts.
Discussing Mad Men and Breaking Bad on sites like AV Club was great. People speculated what would happen next and pointed out little details I hadn't noticed.
Binge-watching is bad for memory and there's no sense of community.
>Binge-watching is bad for memory and there's no sense of community.
A lot of people are starting to realize this, too. Binge shows fucking die within a month because there was never really any reason to talk about them.
They're getting a lot of blowback now from normies, which is great news. Hopefully this fad will just die.
Though...I worry that its proliferation has a darker meaning. Binge releasing means you don't have to give a fuck about the program anymore, which is fiscally easier. You just fart it out into the world and move onto next product.
>They're getting a lot of blowback now from normies, which is great news.
Tangentially related, talking about media with normies is a really trippy experience.
Every normie wants to convince you they're impossibly busy and then they just watch an entire season of TV over a weekend.
Normies used to be snotty about always knowing what was going to happen next, now they think trailers are spoilers.
They don't understand half of what happens in a show.
They don't research at all. Many aren't even aware when something is an adaptation of a book or remake of a foreign film.
There are two normie models, one watches the same stuff repeatedly(Law and Order) and the other refuses to watch anything twice even if it was 20 years ago and it's 99% forgotten.
>t. neurotic as fuck about going into everything blind
But still, I really despise the kind of person who needs to be told what happens before they go see something. It's completely fucked.

I've always hated binge watching even as someone who likes watching shows alone and only discussing them after I've seen it all. When you watch an entire series in the span of a few days it really feels much less impactful. Getting to sit with a show for weeks/months/years is the kind of thing that makes it a part of your life rather than just momentary entertainment. I think you're also able to extract more value out of the things you watch when you don't binge watch it. I know a lot of people claim it's cringe to say you actually learned a valuable life lesson from watching a tv show but those people are almost certainly mindless binge watchers who don't ever get the time to actually process what they just watched. Obviously your values and way of thinking should be informed mostly by your real life experiences, but there's a lot of value to be gained from learning something from the behavior of the characters on the screen and you just don't get to do that as effectively when you crammed 20 episodes into 3 days.
>Getting to sit with a show for weeks/months/years is the kind of thing that makes it a part of your life rather than just momentary entertainment.
Yeah I feel the same way. The things we interact with should not be transient, they should and have to mean something, otherwise it's just another piece of info forced into your brain that slowly drives one insane.

The death of television for the sake of streaming is truly a horrible thing for everyone. Of course it's convenient and the idea of getting to choose for yourself always sounds better on paper, but the beauty of tv is that you only kind of get to choose what you watch and how you watch it. You can choose which channel to watch when, but the it's up to the tv stations to decide what's actually going to be on and at what time. You got more variety, you were exposed to far more new stuff, you still get to rewatch shows over and over again but without autistically binge watching a 100 episode series in a week and a half and then just going back to the beginning again 2 weeks later like some kind of maniac. You get to rewatch shows in a way that never really makes them totally stale and the fact that you don't have total control over what you watch means you're never telling yourself you can't go back and rewatch something you've seen before because you just have so many other shows you should start watching first that you'll never have the time to get back around to it. It really is true that having too many options leaves you less happy with whatever option you do end up making, and the older I get the more I realize that the illusion of choice is actually far better than the responsibility of actually having choice.
There is a sort of choice paralysis. Grabbing three tapes from Blockbuster was ideal since you had choice but not too much choice.
I feel like this sort of disatisfaction has trickled up to everything else. Like if you organize a get-together many people start tire-kicking and fishing around for more details like they expect to be upsold. Or people hold a grudge over something being less fun that they could have possibly had.
I dunno, just thinking of being a teenager in the early 00's we were way more accomadating to each others interests and dabbled more. I did stuff that wasn't my first choice like going to a Ska concert or watching Princess Mononoke and ended up having fun. Now you can just wall yourself off with totally niche stuff.

Has there come out anything in the last 10 years that is still memorable/remembered today?
True Detective
Daddario's tits you mean
Breaking bad
ok, besides breaking bad
then no
>In the last ten years
That started in 2008.
Wtf but I'm only 26
breaking bad was 14 years ago
breaking bad
Kingdom zombie series but we wont get anymore of it
A Kid Named Finger
Blade Runner 2049
no one remembers that movie, most people wouldn't even know about it if not for after dark montages
The Terror (first season only)
I'm still convinced this was a really expensive advertisement for Halloween costumes.

it needed more sluts and tits
Good suggestion. We should petition for more sluts and tits.
Me too, it's insane to think that Breaking Bad has existed for nearly half my life now. It still feels relatively new.

squid game is globalist goyslop, it's not a part of korean culture
>Netflix Korean
Looks like a Mongol humanoid
>"Actual" Korean
Looks like a painted plastic doll
Left's supposed to be a Nork who hasn't had a hardware update installed yet.

plastic fetishists are unironically mentally ill
That's why they decided to do Squeeze Game in real life
?
Binge releasing is a terrible idea.
Agreed, and binge watching is the worst way to watch anything.
watching goyslop, even in moderation, is bad for you.
