State of Television
- Television is in a transitional period, lacking a robust middle class of shows.
- This makes it harder to find shared viewing experiences like with previous hits such as "The Last of Us".
Engineered Hits
- Streaming services prioritize engineered blockbusters over organically popular shows.
- This leads to pre-packaged hits that lack the cultural impact of shows that build over time.

- This highlights the disconnect between critical acclaim, popular success, and personal preference.
