The best adaptations of Shakespeare were TV plays. A lot of CGI is now trying to mask the lack of good plot.

I also think many classic TV shows are effectively TV plays - such as Star Trek, the Twilight Zone, etc.

You're right, that's a really fascinating observation. I can see myself noticing that on future shows.
