Who is popular today?

By Paul BradleyMonster: The Ed Gein Story NetflixWoody Allen used to talk about an old joke: two elderly women are at a holiday resort, and one of them says, “Boy, the food at this place is really terrible”, and the other one replies “Oh, I know; and such small portions.” As if the sheer volume of something could somehow make up for its bad quality. And now, having attained the wisdom of age, I see that not only is life itself like that – too much of everything, most of it dire – but TV channels have actually adopted it as a model. I mean, look at what we have: hundreds of channels, and barely enough decent content to fill one.
