Why are there so many awful TV shows these days?

My partner is into all these shitty shows like Stranger Things and Umbrella Academy. There are so many shows like this now that are about magic and glittery time portals, and it’s all so cheesy. The quality of these shows are on par with something children would watch. Why are 40 year olds into this shit?

People want an escape - portals, time travel etc provides that. Shows like L&O, CSI, etc are too much like the harshness of real life.

There ain’t much else. Plus some people, like your partner , probably watch it because of the buzz or because he thinks it’s popular not because it’s good. People have a huge appetite for shit.
