The special efx haven't gotten more expensive, cameras haven't risen in price, writers don't seem to be demanding particular high prices, netflix takes anything that you can pitch without saying the word disney.

So what in the world happened? X-files was an amazing show and watching it you are not only entertained but you care about mulder and scully. The show is genuinely a great time. Why did they stop making them like this?

Because good is an entirely subjective measure. Ask a 5 year old what the best tv show is and you’ll get a different answer than if you asked a professional critic. There have been loads of shows since X-Files ended that are entertaining and have engaging characters. It’s okay to have a favorite.

I get it everybody has different tastes, that doesn't mean cooking can be of various levels of quality. Just because you like tamales and i prefer borito doesn't mean there is good and bad attempts at both. However you would expect the frequency of well made boritos to be more or less constant over time. With the 5 year old at least you know whatever they'll say is genuinely the best show available to them for their age bracket. A lot of the critics' opinions just don't add up.

Do you actually like serialised content? Most TV is now serialised, as opposed to being episodic like X-Files.

I am not sure, I guess I'll find out soon enough ...from what you said it's the only show in town...

OP, have you watched:

  • Doctor Who
  • Black Mirror

I'll add another one, "Dark".

[-] pelotron@midwest.social 2 points 10 months ago

OMG, Dark! I pride myself on being the one that found and introduced this show to all my friends, who now all agree that it is the best time travel story ever told.

Now the question is, captions or dubs? Most people who watched it are hardline Captionists, but my wife hates reading dialogue so we watched with dubs. I think they did a great job with them.

[-] Granixo@feddit.cl 1 points 10 months ago

Caption definetly.

There are very few pieces of media where the dub is equal if not better than the original language.

[-] Skavau@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

Network TV still does police and medical shows that have a 'monster/crime of the week' style, but it's rare now.

[-] MermaidsGarden@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I’ll be honest, I’m not really sure what you’re getting at with the food analogy.

Your question is like asking ‘Why hasn’t there been another good band since Green Day?’ Some people don’t think they are a good band, some people like them but think other stuff is way better, ect. Again, because good is a subjective measure and (artistic) taste really isn’t quantifiable.
