One of the things we know ruins TV shows are the writer's strikes that crop up from time to time. Heroes got tanked by it and never recovered. A lot of the early seasons of Star Trek TNG were half assed recycled scripts from TOS and it showed.
But 2020 put things on a different level. It wasn't just one department that wasn't producing, but all of them. I know we talk about how certain shows sucked but I do think a lot of had to do with all the restrictions and processes that in some cases made it almost impossible to produce anything for at least a few years.
It's really evidenced by things like Picard Season 2 where they basically just had to LARP in LA for the majority of the time.
I feel like in a few more years when things get back on track, which most of them are at that point already, looking back to the early part of the 2020s will stick out like a sore thumb when it comes to the quality of the entertainment. I wonder how many people will stop thinking about why that happened and just remember how garbge TV and movies were during that time.
