Most people won't see a pinned post if they're not actively browsing that instance at the time. Sure, some will, but not many depending on the community size.

There's no native way to inform people here of community migration at scale. It's just a notification that is somewhat targeted.

It's done now. It was just supposed to be pinging those who weren't aware, but had previously interacted on here. It can't scrape subscribers, so can only go by comments on here.

It scraped comments, not subscribers. You commented here before.

Well movies and TV was dead anyway, but it had (has) 2.5k subscribers. There's no way to actually gather up enough of those people at all without some kind of mass ping. Which would annoy people all the same.

Correct. There's movies for that. It's split into movies and television.

I think one thing you have to keep in mind is that a lot of leading contemporary actors who get cast in modern TV series are not down to do 20-24 episodes a season as leads. Many of them are on other shows, or films and don't want such an obscene filming schedule - and are able to negotiate that as an outcome. Apart from which, a contemporary 20-24 episodes long TV series really has to compete in a way it didn't 20, even 10 years ago. Unless you're just a by-the-books network medical/cop procedural with a built-in presumably older audience, there's a lot more competition for people's attention now.

When TV shows were airing in the 90s and early 00s and late 00s, people weren't really watching korean TV, or nordic noir for instance. There was very little of it comparatively, and what there was barely made it to the USA. This means getting people's attention for a TV show with such a large amount of episodes compared to everything else is a pretty tall order. Audiences also expect, I think, better budgets per episode now.

I watched Mr. Robot years ago now, but I'd disagree that it was harmed by its episode count. It was intensely serialised and packed a lot in it, whereas the majority of older 20-24 episode shows were primarily 'monster-of-the-week' with some of them having over half of their episodes a season completely self-contained.

The dad thriller genre?

Rough year for you given how many of those got cancelled. I liked Constellation quite a bit, and think it was hard-done by. Teacup was okay... but I would've watched a S02.

I find it strange because when you look at the highest rated TV series of all time, almost all of them are about 10-13 episodes long a season. Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, Mr. Robot, Dark. The long-form 22-24 episode a season TV series are not as highly critically acclaimed, on average, in comparison.

I don't mean to appeal to popularity here, but the most 'prestigious' of content has mostly been serialised.

I'd personally like to see a TV adaptation of Equilibrium, without the gun-fu - just the concept of an emotionless society is interesting.

And 28 Days Later as a TV series.

Btw can u update the movies sidebar and any other sidebars, and if u have any communities you want me to add (or add urself) to televisions sidebar

And the subs have gone from like 100 to 250 in a day (or less than) 👍

Do you think Black Sails, Dark were constrained?

Depends on the TV series purpose. Many episodes in 26 episode seasons weren't plot-driven as such, as the episode was entirely self-contained and could be skipped without missing anything related to the wider arc

The television community on lemmy.world is shut down

We're consolidating.

Yes. It's for TV

Done.

Peep Show wouldn't work if Jez and Mark were sorta, well-together.
