1.24.25: TV Shows

I love TV shows, but Quentin Tarantino’s take on Yellowstone, a show I loved, really stuck with me. He called it entertaining, engrossing, and must-watch TV, but said the characters don’t linger—they’re forgotten as soon as the season ends. It’s true; they don’t haunt you or provoke deep thought like characters from truly great storytelling. Is that a fault of the writing, or a reflection of an industry chasing high-impact drama over the slow burn of real character development? Maybe it’s both. Either way, it really makes me wonder if we’re sacrificing substance for spectacle in today’s TV landscape.
