Shows and TV

I dislike what is behind it: increasingly greedy media companies squeezing writers and actors. Prior to the rise of prestige shows on cable, writers and principal cast would have a year contract and would get paid well enough to make the one show their only job. Now they need to look for multiple jobs a year, and there’s little to no guarantee for writers that they will get asked back for the next season if there is one.

The war against writers specifically is also part of why there are so many remakes and sequels and adaptations of existing work: writers get paid much less for those than they do for original work.

All that said, I think shows should have the number of episodes they need and should come out at a pace that ensures quality. Rick and Morty and Venture Brothers are both examples of shows with an unpredictable release schedule that did not harm how enjoyable they were.
