A Brief History of TV’s Evolution Into Goodnessīefore there was Good, there was Bad.
#The good doctor poducer series#
In an era when cinema is enraptured with large-scale, interconnected cinematic universes, the best one was hiding on the small screen all along.Ĭome down the rabbit hole with me as I attempt to explain television’s most compelling universe in a series of smaller analyses. There is a Good TV world out there, one that has been growing right under our noses for years. But as I’ve come to realize, like Neo at the end of The Matrix, that’s only part of the truth. On its surface, the Good TV Universe-which comprises The Good Doctor, The Good Cop, The Good Place, The Good Fight, Good Girls, and Good Behavior-is merely a collection of shows that have “Good” in their titles, for reasons either sarcastic or surprisingly self-serious. It’s high time we talk about the ever-growing Good TV Universe. But there is one trend that’s becoming impossible to ignore-something that is transcending quirky coincidence and coalescing into a unified theory that connects a large swath of shows across several networks. Most of these trends are mere happenstance the kind of thing that occurs when more than 500 pieces of original programming are being churned out to accommodate increasingly niche viewing needs. For instance: Assassin-dramedy is now officially a subgenre, and shows that compete in the limited-series category at the Emmys- Big Little Lies and The Alienist-can extend themselves for a second season, because if Meryl Streep wants to do television, you let her and don’t ask questions. Television is such an expansive medium in 2018 that trends are bound to pop up.
