> it still feels like a lot of shows/movies are a lot longer than they used to be when I was a kid
When I was a kid tv shows typically had 22 episodes per season. Flight Attendant wouldn’t have been made back then, but if it was it would have had much more filler. More likely it would have been about a flight attendant who is a secret CIA agent and defeats a different commie every episode.
I dislike this format because it makes a 4 hour story into an 8 hour story where 4 hours of it is showing the character in some type of inebriated state. I think flight attendant did this too, and the only reason I can think of is to pad their statistics and it being cheap to film those sequences. But it just ends up boring me.
And all the content producers are doing it. I tried Severance on Apple TV+, and I had to stop after 4 episodes because nothing was happening, and this is supposed to be a critically acclaimed show.
The new Batman movie was excruciatingly long too. I miss my 100min stories from the early 2000s and before.
