Why Is There Nothing Good on TV Right Now?
Even more than “How are you?,” the question I get asked most as an entertainment editor is, “What should I be watching?”
It’s a privilege to be able to screen things in advance, know what’s good and what isn’t, and be able to advise friends and loved ones how best to spend their valuable time. But, lately, it’s been awkward. The answer to “what should I be watching?” is…not much.
After years of hearing about the era of #TooMuchTV and the rise of prestige television, we’re in a rare doldrums.
