    This has "when you didn't read the book, but have to turn in your essay" vibes. I'm pretty sure I could have come up with a better text when I was still at school and I sucked at writing. They spent three paragraphs just naming all the shows they could remember the titles of FFS

      Better dramas with longer story arcs, such as “St. Elsewhere” and “Hill Street Blues,” began to appear in the 1980s, but it was not until the 2000s that U.S. television achieved a new golden age with shows such as “The Sopranos,” “The Wire,” “Mad Men,” and “Breaking Bad.” But that age has now ended. “Game of Thrones” aired its last episode in 2019, and there has not been a U.S. series since then that has achieved a similar cultural impact.
