There is a combination of a few things for me:
1. So many choices for entertainment means that I get distracted. I don't have the attention span to pay attention to a lengthy setup. I am rewired for the instant gratification of social media and 10 minute youtube vidoes. I find this is true even for classic movies that I still kind of love. I find myself watching Kubrick movies in sections, because no way am I sitting down for three hours straight.
2. So many choices that I get spoiled. When it was three channels, you pretty much took the best of three shitty options. Now, if it's not great, I ain't watching. Probably a good thing. But I don't have the patience to sit through a rough first season, or rough pilot, of anything.
3. I'm old, so it's gotta be weird and pretty. I've watched every classic story line so many time, in so many forms, it just doesn't interest me, regardless of how well it's done. The shows I get into now tend to have interesting cinematography and weird storylines. Mr. Robot is a good example. Peacock has been surprisingly good with Poker Face, Miss Davis, and Hysteria. I'm sure The Bear is "better" than any of those three, when it comes to writing and acting, but I have very little interest in watching brothers argue in the back of the house of a restaurant. I couldn't get past the first two episodes.
