I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The recap culture that surrounds prestige TV has its genisis in Lost, and the way that a show's quality is disproportionately tied to how well it "sticks the landing" can be traced directly from here. There's also something to be said for the way people talk about "investment" in a show, ownership, and fandom that have roots here.

Great post

I wanted to include LOST here (as it's my second favorite TV show of all time) but since the majority of the series happened the decade before, I omitted it. Still, glad you mentioned it. Feels like LOST was a fitting end to a previous era and a fitting start to the next one. It is the hinge in a way.
