I wonder what is causing this. Netflix being unable to buy or create shows to fill demand, Hollywood Writing going downhill, or Executives cancelling shows quickly.

  Not to mention execs not being willing to take any risks

Yeah, and I’m betting most of them are savvy enough to not be bullied into your bullshit, either. Fuck Netflix and its ilk.

Not like there’s much else worth watching on Netflix these days.

  Depends how interested you are in international content. Netflix has most of that.

  Especially if you want something semi-lighthearted and around 20-30 minutes.
  
  Its like everything on Netflix is either full drama or dark dramedy with a 40 minute runtime and deep plot.

    Deep plots are nice, unfortunately they keep getting cut every couple seasons, so nobody wants to get invested
