It seems like anybody can get a writing job now even if they don't have experience, and experienced writers have either left or just don't bother putting in the effort.

I actually think an unrealistic writing style is kind of popular now. So it might be intentional.

I think the real answer is that you grew up.

Younger people watch whats on now and think its great, and then when theyre bitter in 20 years theyll be talking about how bad things are now

Buffy The Vampire Slayer is far far superior to any modern TV show with a lead female role.

Bad movies have always been made. I think it's just because producing high quality digital film has become easier now, and there are many free tools that handle color correction and film editing for free that even the industry uses. You used to be able to look from afar and see how bad a movie would be, but now they all look good

There's a writing boom at the moment, as Netflix/Amazon/Disney/etc. race to produce more shows than their competitors so volume is more important than quality. It's like the early days of cable TV.

Nah, movies and television have really fallen off in the last ten years or so. Seems almost every big movie these days is either a super hero block buster or some virtue signaling oscar bait bull shit

I hope she writes a book to finish it off. You can see where she was going with it and I need more of the octopus insanity we briefly had.

The writing in TV has never been better. The past decade has been the golden age of tv. I agree that the writing in movies isnt as good as it used to be though

Yeah, one bad show means that the general quality of most shows is bad. Do you watch anything that isnt on CW? Lol

Because you grew up. Things were just as bad when you were younger, you were just less discerning.
