> This leads to shows like “Ted Lasso”—a “sunshine enema”, in the words of one of its producers—and “The Morning Show”, which debuted as a hard-hitting drama about a broadcast-news network’s toxic culture but has degenerated into a mindless soap opera. Amazon, whose early TV commissioning was more daring, now also focuses on the middle ground, with series such as “Citadel”, a big-budget, low-imagination thriller with plenty of explosions and no surprises.
It's pretty telling, to me, that the TV show I have most enjoyed in the last year is "Who is Erin Carter?", a solidly B grade miniseries. Little character development and little in the way of relatability, drama or believability, but at least it had realistic motivations for its main character: wanting to fit in, be accepted.
"Ted Lasso", I just get "the ick" thinking about. Even the name seems "1980s porn star"-ish. "The Morning Show" was always going to be a sub-par soap, just from the name and setting.
The new generation of writers is low calibre.
