I see it the other way around, these shows have huge production value (great camera use, video and sound quality, the field is perfect, etc…) but lack substance (the play quality is terrible, the music is terrible, etc).
Quite possible. Maybe I am the old out of touch person who’s yelling at everything without reason sometimes. Now that you mention it, I’ll admit that the camerawork was decent at least.
Back in my day the bourgeoisie put on good circuses to forget our misery. Now I have to wretchedly acknowledge the scam of it all and it only makes me even more class conscious.
In my early 30s. I think your age is the cutoff for when the circuses were good and original.
For younger Gen Zs and Alphas, it’s nothing but remakes of what we got when we were kids. Pokemon, Harry Potter, and Minecraft are what my nieces and nephews are still into because companies barely invest in new IPs anymore. Even the snack isle look the same as it did 15 years ago, with food companies not investing in new products since the corporations consolidated and there’s no competition anymore.
It’s not that I don’t like the new thing now that I’m older, it truly feels like there’s less new things since late stage captured markets deemed it inefficient.
Yea it is wierd how the past 15 years pop culture has been culturally seem stagnant. The lack of new pop music on the radio and all of the remixes, or the same songs just sung by other artists seems to be more common than actual new content.
well old things have a proven profit, but something new, is a risk, and they dont want to do that. If the old circus distracts and makes profit why do anything new
I had a feeling it was something like this, how things seemed like they were all around less quality. Even entertainment has taken a huge slide since it all feels standardized.
