We asked for endless entertainment. We got it. Now, the hardest question of the digital age isn't "What should I watch?" It is "When do I turn it off?"

Welcome to the Content Tsunami. It is the defining cultural fact of the 2020s, and we are all just trying to keep our heads above water. Fifteen years ago, the watercooler show was a monolith.

We were promised a renaissance. The death of the cable bundle and the rise of streaming platforms were supposed to usher in a new golden age of creativity—a democratic, boundless universe where niche genres would flourish and the tyranny of the ratings box would be abolished.
