View Full Version : Should TV critics stop reviewing bad shows in the Peak TV era? TMC 01-20-2018, 02:24 AM https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/bastard-machine/criticism-peak-tv-era-1075572 Why should critics devote their limited time to obviously bad or mediocre television when there are so many good TV shows out there to review? jimpickens 01-20-2018, 04:30 AM Why do we even need critics. Mr. Television 01-20-2018, 10:46 AM The Peak TV era is long gone. LUNCH 01-20-2018, 02:16 PM If modern TV was any good they would not have to give it fancy terms such as "Peak TV" and so on. cnnbcbs 01-21-2018, 08:32 PM The Peak TV era is long gone. They mean 'Peak' as in quantity, not quality. icecream 01-22-2018, 05:43 PM Why do we even need critics.We don't. Critics are a bunch of elitist snobs. UMFaninMD 01-22-2018, 07:32 PM Woo-hoo, back posting! Generally critics these days are gung-ho about the quirky, indie shows not seen on mainstream networks, or edgy cable shows while they dismiss most network programs. But if the critics themselves are pointing out that network shows have to play it safe for general viewers, then why even fault them for it in the first place? Now, I really don't watch any network TV, but that seems a little hypocritical to me, bad show or not. |
