The past few years have really tested my patience, and I'm finally throwing in the towel. I'm done. The only television I'll watch is older shows I love (Breaking Bad/Saul, Sopranos, True Detective S1, etc), or I'm just going to wait until a show is completed and I hear that all seasons were good.
The greatest age of television began in 1999 and lasted for around 20 years. During that time period we got some of the most prestige and iconic shows, and we received new seasons on a yearly basis. Nowadays we have to wait 2-3 years instead of 1, and we get less episodes with worse quality writing. Even the VFX for something like Stranger Things Season 5 look WAY worse than previous seasons.
(Three years for this shit?)
There's no excuse for any of this. I'm tired of waiting longer for less, and I'm tired of investing myself in tv shows that start off great and then start shitting themselves in later seasons. I do not care if someone tells me if some new shows is off the charts amazing. My mindset will immediately default to the prediction that later seasons will nosedive in quality. From now on I'm spending my free time on gaming, books, and the occasional movie. I was just reading this article and it was pretty much the straw the broke the camel's back for me:

(We got 62 Breaking Bad episodes by the time we'll get around 18 episodes of Pluribus)
Whatever has happened to the industry, they gotta figure out how to get back to a one or one and a half year wait between seasons. This is bullshit and I don't care for whatever excuses they or some armchair industry expert has. FIGURE it out.
