Most importantly, this just isn’t how TV is made anymore. Nobody comes home on 6 on Tuesdays cause their favourite show is on, and it’s a routine.
Viewers today (and I do include myself there) want either something lowkey engaging to have as background noise or something that demands your attention—and really, I’ll give my attention to 10x1h but not 24 times per year.
Forgot to add but: I’d rather have my new trek be something I look forward to and cherish, albeit rare, and not something that might as well be replaced by random episodes of 90s TV or a twitch stream.
