    Of the top 50 highest grossing movies of the 2010s there are 4 that aren't sequels, remakes, or superhero flicks: Frozen, Zootopia, The Secret Life of Pets, and Bohemian Rhapsody. Not a good look.

    That said, plenty of good films came out this decade. They were just lower budget or arthouse, and as such, didn't attract the same type of audiences. One of the better trends was more visibility for non-white filmmakers.

    There is more TV than ever due to streaming, but it isn't necessarily better quality TV. In general, streaming makes it more difficult for a single show to dominate public consciousness, as there are so many different options for people to view. GoT was one of the few exceptions this decade and it crashed and burned. Breaking Bad and Mad Men both went well into the 2010s, so I think they kind of count for the culture of the decade.

          it's a production company that does a lot of 'weirder' movies, heavy on 'heady' movies that sometimes need some more disection or at least a different taste level than the general public (especially if you compare mainstream horror).

          their most popular movies are things like Under The Skin, Midsommar, Hereditary, The Lighthouse, Moonlight, etc. Have been doing well at the oscars and among critics for a while now.
