I've been slowly making my way through the Walking Dead season 10 on Netflix.

I legitimately will skip probably 60-70% of the episodes. They'll seriously skip from one scene of super-slow angsty bullshit to another scene with other characters involved in super-slow angsty bullshit.

I watch just enough to get the point and then skip the next 5-10 minutes until the next scene shows up, at which point I'll watch just enough to get the point ... ad nauseum.

It doesn't have to be like this, but JFC I'm not interested in someone spending 10 minutes expressing what a normal human being would express in 1 because the producer thinks slowing their speech patterns down to .0001x is somehow more dramatic.

I cannot wait for this trend to pass because it's absolutely not just the walking dead.



Right, they now stretch story arcs over a whole season that used to be an episode or two two decades ago.
