This week Bill reviews The Northman and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Pattie reviews Shining Girls. Then Bill and Pattie discuss "peak tv." A term coined by FX boss John Landgraf back in 2015. At the time there were 422 scripted original TV series, he predicted that by 2016 the content bubble would burst and that number would start to go down. That didn't happen. 2021 had an estimated 559 scripted shows across all networks and streaming platforms. That number doesn't even include movies. When will we hit our limit for entertainment choice?
