And by proper I mean stories and characters that have had time to breath and develop in a natural and organic way, over the course of several episodes and several seasons.

The way each character was introduced, slowly and with intention, carefully embedded in the story, with a solid and logical background is something that I think is severely lacking in this streaming era.

Root, Shaw, Samaritan, Greer. They all came in slowly and never felt out of place or a weird and imposed addition.

8 episodes a season, are not enough. 1 season every 2-3 years is way too long of a wait. Axing shows after 1 or 2 seasons is a massive disservice to the story and us, the viewers.

I used to know these characters. To care for them. To love then.

Now I barely know them, or even care enough to wait for the next season to see how their story will unfold.

There are shows that I like now, sure.

But there isn’t any modern show that can hold my interest as much as the likes of Person of Interest, Fringe, Lost, and so many more did years ago.

Dude. I grew up surrounded by American propaganda; I grew up hearing about Americans shouting about how they’re the greatest country in the World, the land of the free, they’re the Good Guys and everyone else either need saving or they are the Bad Guys and need to be defeated. The US “exported Democracy” for as long as I can remember.

So yes, I’m gonna get pissed and annoyed at a country that always felt superior and better than anyone and now is slowly descending into a fascist dictatorship who’s shitting on historical allies and threatens war left and right while bullying everyone else.
