Reply to Why have dramas like Breaking Bad and the Sopranos remained relevant while others such as Lost and Dexter remained in the 2000s? by LakeMcKesson
While lost was groundbreaking in the way it told its story I think that the show itself doesn’t have a lot of rewatchability for those who already saw it. I also think with people’s viewing habits today it’s a tough sell to get new people to watch over 100 episodes of an uneven show, especially since you have to pay attention while watching & can’t multitask (scroll on your phone) while watching it.
Dexter I think blew all its goodwill with a lousy ending, the new season was like trying to heal a shotgun blast with a band-aid.
Breaking Bad was one of the first show to hugely benefit from streaming & twitter. The ratings weren’t great at first despite it getting a lot of critical acclaim & Emmy wins. The buzz around it got people streaming the early seasons on Netflix & then stuck with it through the end on AMC. I think it was one of the early shows that had a lot of live-tweeting going on, which also led to some pretty classic memes & Gifs online.

You need S2 out now? Think of those who watched when it first dropped. 🙂🙂🙂
