The streaming boom was what, the last decade? Whenever Netflix started spending on House of Cards? Billions spent on prestige TV shows to acquire market share and they all have seemingly no cultural relevance at all. None will be remembered or cherished 10+ years from now I think. Pretty insane.

even the ones that did have cultural relevance (like game of thrones or house of cards) have been pretty well "culturallyl liquidated" at this point. ain't nobody going back for a rewatch of game of thrones, or at least not past about season 5.
it's funny, a couple years before the show was finished (during the first time when they stalled out for a year) my sister gave me a box set of the blu-rays, at first I was a little bummed because I'd inevitably end up with a couple mismatched DVDs/not in the box set, but it turns out that stallout was also the point where the show started imploding.
I like to joke that after she gave me the set they never finished the show, haha what are the odds!? /s
