After I watched this when it came up in my YouTube feed today, I went back and rewatched a couple of the older "Fuck You, It's January" videos. They were so pessimistic, and yet it's somehow only gotten worse. It really feels like the wheels are coming off on film and television.
With the exception of a handful of series like Only Murders in the Building, I don't watch much new TV anymore. Since I've watched just about everything I'm interested in over the years, I've actually just started going backwards. It'll take me years to get through, but I'm up to shows from the late 1980s to early '90s now that I either missed the first time around or caught episodically and out of order. I'm halfway through Quantum Leap, and although there are hokey episodes here and there, the quality of the writing is generally pretty strong. A well-crafted, strongly humanist anthology series doesn't really seem like the kind of thing that would ever get greenlit these days.

Well, it would be greenlit, made, not advertised, and then cancelled after one season for terrible writing.
