Shaky cam.
Any indication that there isn't a 'closed' story, directionless content.
Part of a 'universe'*


* Apart from 'Andor'. Which a lot of people recommended to me. Despite giving up on Star Wars years ago (about half way through The Force Awakens) I gave it a go and rather enjoyed it, then watched Rogue One which I also thought was pretty good.

So "Streaming" is redundant here ? What shows aren't streamed on a streaming platform anymore ? So Streaming i guess just means - TV.
And i'm assuming "Show" = "Fictional Episodic Drama" rather than Saturday Kitchen or Pointless or Football Focus.

So its The 3 things that "trigger" you in TV dramas.

FWIW my recent five that i liked the most were
Severance SE02, Ludwig first series, Slow Horses SE04, Black Doves first series and three series of 90s police drama on iPlayer that i rewatched ; The Cops.

Can I just add: 'Sent to prison for a crime they didn't commit'. Streaming prisons are full of such innocent parties

Anything with zombies or vampires - it's just such lowest common denominator stuff.
Any "marvel" type super hero nonsense.

Netflix relentlessly cancelling good shows and often leaving things on a cliffhanger before the final season airs...give us the last season of Final space you cowards!
