Sure, but I mean is not just all that, but also the filming design decisions the directors are making. They choose dark colors, dark dialog, dark music, dark, dark dark. The same thing happened to Batman. It became the unwatchable Gotham that apparently a lot of people watched anyway. Or that spate of dark, dark, dark apocalyptic series over the last ten years. Or Thrones. Even a lot of sitcoms are dark these days. I find myself giving a new show one or two chances,. Maybe if people refused to assimilate all that negativity into their minds and lives, society would be better off. We need more positive inputs like the immensely popular Lassie, or Leave it to Beaver, etc. Darkness is not necessary to be popular.
