So, streaming’s crushing cable now. I mean, I barely paid attention to the headlines until someone threw out the number—streaming’s at 44.8% of all TV viewership, officially beating out cable and broadcast combined (Nielsen’s screaming about it, if you want the receipts: streaming reaches a historic milestone). Netflix’s still king, YouTube’s up 120% since 2021 […]

Okay, so why does everyone act like production hacks are a state secret? It’s not like studios are totally innocent here—they absolutely let at least one shortcut slide, and everybody in the business knows it. I’ve watched editors dive into the assembly cut before the director’s even wrapped, and the world doesn’t end. Editors are […]

Picture this: one day you’re set for your usual comfort TV, and the next, cable networks are just tossing their biggest shows around like they’re bored kids with a deck of cards. No warning. Not even a “Hey, sorry!” Just—poof—your favorites from MSNBC, CNN, USA, whatever, gone from their usual spots, and suddenly you’re hunting […]

Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling—ads everywhere, same shows, same faces, same “must-see” hype. Why does it always feel like the only stuff out there is whatever gets plastered across every billboard and bus stop in town? Seriously, are we all supposed to be excited about the same three series? I started poking around the weird corners of […]

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. […]

Why am I always staring at a loading screen, again? Another “new season coming soon” and my inbox is overflowing and my coffee’s gone cold. It’s like, what’s the actual hold-up? My friend—yes, the one who won’t shut up about streaming analytics (which, apparently, is a real job, who knew?)—claims private networks drag out release […]

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 […]
