Trying to figure out what people want to watch? Good luck. I mean, I keep hearing that “action always sells,” but then I read this new audience report—“Movie Preferences: What Audiences Really Want in 2025”—and apparently, almost three-quarters of viewers now chase genres with underrepresented voices. Wild, right? Studios are scrambling, but my neighbor? She’s […]

Okay, was it just me, or did everyone used to obsess over gritty crime and superheroes? Now, blink, and suddenly everyone’s talking about documentaries or some wild interactive thing—Bandersnatch, anyone? That one nearly broke my brain. Platforms are in panic mode because, yeah, it’s not just noise: Meer’s 2025 analysis says immersive content and docu-series […]

Am I hallucinating, or does every streaming app just dump reruns of ancient family sitcoms into my queue while I sleep? It’s like the algorithm thinks I’m seven and it’s my birthday every night. Apparently, those so-called “family genre favorites” are wrecking the view counts of all those expensive streaming originals, and it’s not just […]

Okay, so, real talk—every time someone corners me about TV genres, I just want to laugh. Are they rigid? Please. The only thing rigid is my back after a pitch meeting. TV writers all know genres are, I dunno, like Play-Doh that’s been left out in the rain. They’re supposed to snap together, but mostly […]

Every time I open Netflix—there it is, another endless parade of moody crime shows, murder mysteries, and “limited series” with names like “The Night Is Watching” or whatever. Sitcoms? I mean, where’d they go? Feels like they vanished faster than my willpower at 2am. I’m not hallucinating this—back in the ‘90s, sitcoms were everywhere. Now, […]

Why is nobody talking about this? I swear, we all just bailed on prestige drama like it was a bad haircut. Wasn’t that the thing a few years ago? Now, out of nowhere, these weird hybrid drama genres are sneaking up, grabbing die-hard fans, and somehow shoving comedies into the background. Not even a headline […]

Okay, so here’s what I don’t get: Why does my feed suddenly think I’m dying to watch sci-fi lawyers or competitive glassblowing? I swear, every time I check, there’s a new “must-watch” genre, and everyone’s acting like it’s always been a thing. Nobody at those smug “industry insight” panels ever admits the truth—these breakout genres? […]

So, last weekend? I blinked and suddenly it’s eight hours later, the entire detective series gone, and my laundry pile’s still judging me from across the room. Honestly, nobody tells you how bingeing on, like, true crime or those psychological thrillers just chews through your cash and your brain faster than you can microwave popcorn. […]

So, can we talk about this? Every time I try to zone out with some TV—usually while shoving popcorn in my face and pretending I don’t have emails to answer—I’m getting bombarded with these doctor-family dramas. It’s like, one week it’s crime scene reruns, next week? Boom. Wall-to-wall surgeons and their bickering families. Nielsen claims […]

Okay, so I’ve been refreshing the stats every week, and—maybe I’m losing it—comedy series just keep blowing up, even after everyone swore dramas had the streaming throne. Ted Lasso? 16.9 billion minutes streamed in 2023, says Nielsen, which is apparently the most-watched original comedy on any platform last year. Wild, considering half my friends only […]

Okay, so here I am, scrolling through endless titles at 1 a.m. and, wow, yet again I’m sucked into another true crime rabbit hole. I swear, these shows multiply faster than my unread emails. Algorithms? Obsessed. Me? Annoyed at myself for being obsessed. But let’s be honest: true crime keeps smashing ratings on Netflix, Hulu, […]

Alright, so here’s my thing: every time I sit down for yet another sci-fi binge, I’m left wondering—who exactly decided I need another show about robots taking over? Somehow, money getting pumped into TV genres just nudges all of us into new preferences, and half the time, I don’t even notice until my entire queue […]
