Do the collective you think that the genre of television is improved or diminished by our now unlimited access? I've always enjoyed the experience of following a show, week to week, but I find it nearly impossible to maintain. Until recently, I thought my internet wasn't capable of streaming netflix, so I only ever watched tv on dvds or at other people's houses. Was I missing out on something? Or was I released?
Of course, we can also tie in ideas about instant gratification, shortened attention spans and less investment on the part of the creators. Or lower production costs, wider audience access, and more creator control?
For my part, I've always been a fan of tv, but as with many things I enjoy, I have trouble with the whole "moderation" thing. I binge watch. So I would like to be on the side of less east access, but who am I kidding.
