The studios don't let the creatives create, they don't want to commision shows they want to control them, so they have to hire people they can control and whom will be happy to do as they're told and take the job, even though they aren't qualified, like the idots running RoP. So anyone with any talent so skip from job to job where they can have some freedom. Studios are driven almost entirely by money, by politics, by what NF etc want and their algorythmns. Theirs and those buying their shows.
Is this every show and every film? no, of course not but it's a good percentage.
It's a production line of copy paste numbers driven crap, made to run x episodes of a certain length aimed at x demographic to fill x slot on x streaming service, with this message and that message, hitting this plot point and that at certain times. It's trend following, it's safe, and it's designed to take as few risks as possible, like games, like moves, keep recycling the same old IP's, remaking the same old films/games/shows...
It's far from all content but a lot of it, it's just a formula, subscribe, consume, repeat where mediocrity is now a good show.
It's been so long since I last season 1, the only thing I remember was a great bonking scene
I don't even remember that.

I quite enjoyed the first season and hadn’t expected to get a second season after 3 years radio silence.
I suspect given that there has been quite a long delay between seasons for a lot of shows over the last few years, a lot of them might have ended up with other commitments that conflicted as you can't really hang around hoping the show you did season 1 of is going to get a season 2 and turn down work, whilst at the same time the money people and cast/crew can't necessarily wait another 6-12 months for a show runner to finish off their comittment.
An awful lot of shows/films never get past the planning stage because of things like key cast/crew not being available at the right time and the money being pulled because a network or film company needed production to start in time for the final product to be ready for a certain timeframe.
there is also the thing where 10-20 years ago unless you were really connected/followed exactly the right sites or magazines you often simply didn't hear of things like a a showrunner not carrrying on, or that a show might not be renewed it's only relatively recently that that has become more commonly public knowledge (and about the earliest examples I can think of for some of what is now readily available info was from B5 because the show runner/writer/creator spent time on newsgroups talking to fans).
I remember it only being a few years back that IMDB basically only had really simple information on a lot of things, the cast and key crew but not much else, and it seems that in the last maybe 5 years they've started listing a lot more people in their specific crew roles, and it's not normally something listed on the actual credits of a show so you needed to have information that wasn't there unless you looked for it.
The one with the fairy, or the one with the minotaur?It's been so long since I last season 1, the only thing I remember was a great bonking scene
Oh dear. I don’t remember the latter lol. The one with the fairy boinking that guy in the cave or something was what I loosely remember.The one with the fairy, or the one with the minotaur?
Shame it was the last season, even with the huge wait s2 stepped everything up and really gave you the feeling of being in their world. Props to the designers of the Sparas, that will no doubt aid some peoples Knightmare fuel.
