Venkatesh Rao@vgrReplying to @atduskgregFeels like we’ve had this conversation before. Too static and long-arc drama for me. I’m more a monster-of-the-week type.6:35 AM · Sep 13, 2020
Greg Borenstein@atduskgreg·Sep 13, 2020Replying to @vgrAh gotcha. Yeah. Great monster of the week TV is a niche that contemporary digital services are super bad at filling. Telling a full story in an hour’s a lot harder than keeping a serialized ball rolling. Might be a lost art at this point.
