Your line on streaming content stood out like a bright beacon on the hill. While not what the article was about, it resonates. I've been looking through my Netflix recommendations and I'll see that I've given a thumbs up to something and I'll open it up and think, I don't remember watching this. I guess I liked it but I can't recall anything about the characters or plot. The never ending waterhose of streaming content is all starting to run together now where very things stand out. And then the modern day quick quips in every show these days seem to be tailored to the ADHD prone and those brought up on Ritalin. I wonder if the speed at which these shows are being churned out also is showing up and taking form in their writing with the fast forward themes, plots, and dialogue? Nothing is really allowed to take hold anymore.
