The Wheel of Time
One of these things is not like the others.

Hmm… The Expanse, The Boys, The Last of Us, Narcos, Narcos Mexico, and Game of Thrones seem to disagree with him. I would mention all the new Star Trek getting made too, but that actually does seem to be getting dumbed down.

Hehe. Right? It wasn’t good. But it’s a complex story.

I’d even add Star Wars to that list. Andor and The Mandolorian are pretty complex interwoven stories. Andor alone is some of the best television I’ve seen since The Sopranos.

All of those shows are dumbed down - except for early season game of thrones, though clearly that show became comically dumbed down by the end to such an extent that it tanked the franchise

The Expanse covers 5 separate factions, all vying for power, across twice as many storylines. How is that dumbed down?

Biggest disappointment of my life. I grew up loving star wars and it still has a special place in my heart that only it can fill but if I got to choose between GoT never losing quality or star wars getting fixed I would choose GoT without a second thought. Every star wars trilogy is bad in its own special way but the first 4 seasons of GoT were absolute masterpieces that are forever tainted from the following seasons
