What are some of your unpopular TV opinions about shows, the industry etc?

26 episode seasons were way way better. 10 episode seasons don't give enough time to develop characters and have less plot driven episodes.
- Depends on the TV series purpose. Many episodes in 26 episode seasons weren't plot-driven as such, as the episode was entirely self-contained and could be skipped without missing anything related to the wider arc
  
  Yeah, great, more of that, please!
  
  The same can be said for many episodes in 10-episode seasons, and due to that constraint those examples are more disruptive to plot progression and tend to be counterbalanced with episodes which rush progression but aren't actually good.

TV shows are made with great skill but for some reason they lack the timeliness of a great movie.
The movie industry taking all their cues from TV shows has led to the consequence that nothing worth watching is produced nowadays.

Lower Decks is just Rick And Morty with a franchise.

Korean dramas don't know how to end their shows. A lot of otherwise great kdramas are ruined by how they end. They are great up until the last episode where the writers for some reason don't know what to do.

Bad people can make good art. Weinstein, Gaiman, Spacey, Luc Besson, etc.
