Rough year for you given how many of those got cancelled. I liked Constellation quite a bit, and think it was hard-done by. Teacup was okay… but I would’ve watched a S02.

I find it strange because when you look at the highest rated TV series of all time, almost all of them are about 10-13 episodes long a season. Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, Mr. Robot, Dark. The long-form 22-24 episode a season TV series are not as highly critically acclaimed, on average, in comparison.

I don’t mean to appeal to popularity here, but the most ‘prestigious’ of content has mostly been serialised.

I’d personally like to see a TV adaptation of Equilibrium, without the gun-fu - just the concept of an emotionless society is interesting.

And 28 Days Later as a TV series.

Do you think Black Sails, Dark were constrained?

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

The television community on lemmy.world is shut down

We’re consolidating.

Yes. It’s for TV

In this case, its automation. It’s also a partial response to Reddits ineffectual moderator system. No-one is gunna spend all day monitoring comments from trolls and spammers on basic communities usually flooded with comments. I can’t see anyone especially truly engaged to do so in (for example, and I have no idea if these communities do this) in r/aww or r/pics or r/jokes or r/videos, which are just pretty basic subreddits that aren’t really hobbyist.

Whereas say, r/AskHistorians or some video game community or a music subgenre community likely will by their hobbyist nature attract more engaged moderators.

They will do it so long as not doing it greatly increases the amount of busywork, spam moderation and troll moderation.

Sure, but it offers at least some protection.

By low karma I mean -100 types.

The traffic on Reddit is massive for highly populated subreddits. And these subreddits that restrict low karma account activities aren’t doing it for any profit motive.

I understand Lemmy isn’t really big enough for this to be a concern here.

Unfortunately, on reddit - when subreddits restrict new posters or low karma commenters, they’re just trying to mitigate the impact of trolls and bots and people making new accounts. It’s not about being elitist.

Yeah, I often just forget to upvote generally. Although this could lead to argumentative posters making troll posts, getting engagement and trending just because people reply to them.

This may not be an inherently bad thing given that low karma accounts tend to be trolls.

If you don’t like the direction of a movie or show, you can just watch something else. There is an entire caustic critic industry based around complaining about Disney. It is sad.

The level of utter derangement people have over mainstream cinema (marvel, star wars, franchise, action slop, disney remakes) being ‘tainted’ by a raceswap, or being ‘woke’ in some way is off the scales.

There are genuinely people crying themselves to sleep over the perceived quality of the entertainment equivalent of happy meals. There’s an entire caustic critic industry over it. It’s honestly pathetic how so many people have MCU Derangement syndrome.
