The issue is that it's still a damn bundle. Except now it's several.

What I want is to pay for access to the things that I want, which happen to be spread across more and more bundles the way things are going.

What they want is for me to only consume things from their bundle, to ensure that I'm a permanent customer.

You can still for relatively cheap buy shows on Amazon or Google play. Unless you watch a ton of TV it's still cheaper and you actually own it. Works for many shows except Netflix or HBO originals. For these I just only subscribed every few months, watch what I want and then unsubscribe.

Just use iTunes then to rent TVs and movies ?
