    I came across The Newsroom with Jeff Daniels and Olivia Munn. HBO 2012-14. Munn is a much better actor than the shitty roles she has had since, but the show predicted the corporate takeover of US media and the subsequent enshittification of news. Scarily accurate, and in fact was too optimistic because the current shit show is much worse than they predicted would happen and they gave the IQ of the American public far too much credit.

    I much prefer a show that comes in, does it’s thing, and fucks off again. Respect my time.

    Stretching it out to a million seasons with a million episodes each just for archaic syndication purposes is a big no from me, dawg.

    I just discovered Person of Interest a few weeks ago, and have been binge watching it. It’s so good.

    I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the first time this year. It was the perfect end-of-day comfort show.

    Now I’ve finished all 7 seasons and there is a hole in my life.

      Ope, that hole is a rough one. I still crave more similar style shows with that good mix of light and dark and urban fantasy that doesn’t need to take itself too seriously.

      Wildly different show, but The Magicians scratches a somewhat similar itch, especially after season 2. It’s definitely darker, but is also about young people struggling with the consequences of living in a world with magic that most people don’t know about while also having fun with it from time to time
