+33 There's nothing more annoying in a show than unnecessary backstory and pseudo character depth, amirite?

For your last point, did you just watch Paradise? Because oh my god, every damn episode, they take an old song and make it 100x worse with some slowed down melodramatic cover of it. For the love of god, they did that gimmick to "We Built This City" by Jefferson Starship…

The slow downed opera version of "Another Day in Paradise" was pretty annoying.

Thats funny cause the original sucks ass and that cover is vastly superior

I think the original was named the worst song from the 80's or some such. So bad.

This sounds like every recipe online ever. Gotta read through the stupidest life story before you get to the actual recipe. Drives me bonkers.

yeah I find it easier to get recipes from YouTube. It's way more helpful to be able to have a video reference through all of the stages of cooking as well.

I agree. I much prefer movies. occasionally I'll find a really good miniseries or show where almost every episode is well made but that's rare. Especially with true crime documentary series.

Watch better shows

Have to concur. Some shows actually use these scenes to add depth to a character, to better understand motivation and allow an audience to empathize with. Some shows just do it as filler.

When they started doing the "flash side-ways" scenes in the last season. Stuuuupid lol

I always feel like good writing should show that depth without the need for a flashback except for unique situations. But I also don't have any creative writing skill, so what do I know
