  1. Is this further evidence that linear commercial TV is reducing its creative priority producing limited season fictional drama shows, unless it’s a long running soap.
    The success of Netflix’s true-crime show Tiger King and other so called true life murder mystery doco series indicate that modern audiences are becoming even more vicarious watching trauma, and are wanting more schlock thrills and distractions, which is fascinating because we have enough real life issues to deal with as it is.
