Basically if TV Shows for the foreseeable future had to give up one attribute out of good storytelling or good character development, which one would you sacrifice?
For starters to any of the American Writers that may be die hard BBUK stans on this Forum (tumbleweed rolls) it's basically either writing a compelling narrative with worldbuilding and lore versus great character interactions, great individual personalities, and just general iconic status about the individual character in question.
Which would you rather lose?
Obviously both are really important to any work of fiction (or at least they should be) but if I was told that I had to sacrifice one over the other, then I would sacrifice having really standout characters because ultimately TV Shows are a story medium, if you're wanting me to watch every episode, then I personally prefer having an average cast with a really strong plot over a really well developed cast, but the plot goes nowhere, as essentially that's just wasting my time.
And god help me when I've personally seen Shows be popular that suck at both.
