"It's Meandering, episodic, understated, and made in Norway."
The Norway thing is okay for me as I'll watch a Show if it's good and I have no issues with Norway as a nation, but meandering and episodic is 99.99% of modern TV.
When will we get something that's aiming to be ambitious or just generally well written again? Shows like Dexter, GOT, The Expanse, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, 24, Life On Mars (the UK one obviously) the reimagining of Battlestar Galactica, Mindhunter, Criminal Minds (especially the early seasons) Monk, Psych, Parks & Recreation, Community, Arrested Development, Gilmore Girls, Smallville, Angel, early seasons of Supernatural, Star Trek: Enterprise, Bates Motel etc.
All of those Shows above were very strong in their own respective fields, and they certainly wouldn't brag about "meandering" as a positive.
I can only think of a handful of Shows today that actually understand what good characters and good storytelling actually is.
