The phrase “classic” is used relatively when describing contemporary shows, given that television is an evolving medium that has changed significantly in the last decade. While the dawn of premium cable used to be seen as the single most defining evolution in how shows are funded and received, streaming has completely shifted the way that the market works. It is now not uncommon for shows to be treated like blockbuster films with massive budgets, A-list talent, and marketing campaigns that begin years in advance. It’s exciting that there is so much innovation that is done on the small screen, as it has opened up more opportunities in a time when the theatrical market is under stress due to the perilous limited release strategies that have made high-quality films inaccessible to those outside of major cities. However, increased budgets and attention do not necessarily make for an immediate jump in quality.
