All the latest movie news, movie trailers & reviews - and the same for TV, too.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Even though the streaming age has produced more TV shows than ever before, all the most-watched shows on streaming platforms are older network shows like The Office and Suits. Shows from the 1990s and 2000s are topping the charts, even when compared to Netflix and Amazon's biggest hits.
Before streaming platforms changed the landscape of TV, it was common for shows to have between 20 and 25 episodes per season, regardless of the genre. Most streaming shows have 10 episodes per season, or even fewer. The longer seasons meant that shows had filler episodes which focused on worldbuilding and character development even if they didn't directly contribute to the overarching plot.
TV shows where each episode is similar can be great for comfort viewing. People don't need to worry if they have missed an episode or if they don't have all the information they need; they can just sit back and enjoy the ride. Predictability can often be a positive for a show, and it lends itself to running jokes which have huge payoffs for long-time fans. Modern TV shows are usually more varied with their plots.
4 The Nostalgia Factor People like to rewatch their favorite shows multiple times Close Nostalgia could be a huge reason why older shows are generally more popular than newer ones on streaming. Many people would prefer to rewatch their old favorites multiple times than try to find something new and risk disliking it. It's possible that ten or fifteen years from now, popular streaming shows like The Mandalorian and The Night Agent will be the biggest shows on TV, but this remains to be seen.
Streaming has allowed shows the freedom to target a small niche, but old network TV shows had to appeal to a mass audience. This created plenty of crowd-pleasing, lighthearted TV shows that anyone could enjoy. Shows like Friends and 30 Rock rarely explore harsh societal issues, and if they do, they approach these heavy themes with a playful tone. By contrast, new shows in the streaming era tend to have a more serious outlook.
