I usually get tired of Netflix shows very quickly because a lot of them are not properly built around the story theyβre trying to tell. The ending is always like the writers are trying to stretch a simple thing into eight hours. That is why I almost completely stopped trusting the hidden gem label attached to most shows. Because I think most of the time, those shows are forgotten for a reason.




I do not like to watch old detective shows because they are only built to keep you hooked for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, I am out. Because usually they follow a very simple structure, like a murder, a twist, and then the final reveal. Because of it, after a while, a lot of detective shows start to feel extremely similar. Even with the suspects, you can almost always see in their actions or in their behavior that they are suspects or are hiding something.



The art of the miniseries is, in many ways, quite distinct from the art of the regular television show. As opposed to running for a varying number of seasons, a miniseries tells a story in a predetermined, usually relatively limited number of episodes. As such, it's the perfect medium to convey powerful, self-contained stories in a variety of genres.
