Is TV dying?

from The Swanston Explainer · host The Swanston Explainer

TV is starting to look very different. The days of the 22 episode season, slow-burn storylines, and becoming attached to characters are quickly being replaced by short 8 episode drops designed for binge-watching and streaming, but what does that mean for audiences? From losing comfort shows to feeling like we rarely see people or communities reflected realistically, we explore how this global shift is changing TV, especially in Australia, and whether the future of TV is becoming harder to connect with.
