If a show was on one of the major networks, historically speaking, they were meant to entertain an audience over the course of a year. This meant a season started in the Fall, ended in the Spring, and the final episode count would be at least 20 or more. Shows made for streaming have the luxury of not being tied to that standard. They can tell their story and move on. While this means a lack of filler, it also means an easier binge with the story not being dragged out to an unnecessary point. These 3 shows definitely would have benefited from this format. Once upon a time This is probably the show that needed to be a non network show the most. Not just episode count but for budget and time. The most powerful characters were constantly nerfed for the sake of plot. Oh no! The Evil Queen was thrown across the room. The villain got what they wanted. I think splitting up the seasons between two arcs really helped but if they had the time & budget and didn't have to prolong a plot, p...

"Frustrated with her thankless office job, the 25-year-old red panda copes with her daily struggles by belting out heavy metal karaoke after work." - IMDB Season 1 This first season establishes characters, tones, and themes of the whole series so perfectly, you’re immediately attached to many of the characters and you get a clear understanding about what the plot is about from the start. You watch Retsuko as she balances work and life. She’s trying to succeed in work to become someone respected and appreciated. But she struggles with the disappointment of life. She doesn’t have too much of a social life and has lots of hopes and dreams that she realizes may not be fulfilled the way she wants them too. And that’s it. That’s the show. Throw in quirky animation and characters, comedic reactions and interactions, all pulled together with the aesthetic and art style – and you got what is Aggretsuko. Seasons 2 & 3 These next seasons are more or less just an expansion of...

Intro? Select gif, press delete, upload new photo. "After narrowly escaping a bizarre accident, a troubled teenager is plagued by visions of a man in a large rabbit suit who manipulates him to commit a series of crimes." - IMDB I'll say this, when I got to the end, I was literally like "If it wasn't actually time travel, then what the hell was going on?" So thanks to reddit, I feel affirmed that I followed the story correctly. Overall this was a great movie. Definitely passes the vibe check for the emos in the world. Frank the Bunny is an iconic piece of pop culture. I was very please with the casting as well. A lot of people that I recognized - from Drew Barrymore to Ashley Tisdale, to that guy who played the son of that crazy dude from Independence day. Jake Gyllenhaal knocked it out of the the park. I guess he really didn't have schizophrenia in the end, but Jake would play the hell out of that diagnosis if he ever had to portray it. Recommend me...

"A team of intergalactic warriors fights to protect the Earth, but the combination of three highly trained beings and one quirky young boy leaves the team struggling to overcome the dangerous scenarios that are put in front of them." - IMDB Season 1 While season 1 is a long list of Steven shenanigans as he comedically struggles to grow into his powers, there’s still a foundation of love and purpose under all of the innocent adventures. One thing that is for certain for the whole season is that Rose’s absence is felt literally all the time. The impact Rose made and the impact the birth of Steven made has series wide consequence that extends past Steven growing up without a mom. I’ve heard Steven Universe be compared to Last Airbender and I definitely see some some of those similarities in the sense that both Aang and Steven were just goofy little kids and as time goes on their power grows as conflicts intensify and this leads to awesome moments. Season 1 on...
