Welcome to the 2nd Golden Age of Television! You are now living in a halcyon time when your home entertainment choices are almost limitless, and the sheer quality of programming is consistently staggering. Yes friends, we are in Peak TV at this very moment - and we ain’t mad at it. The phenomenon dates back to at least the 1990s and TV has since evolved into something almost beyond TV. New-era showrunners are taking more risks in narrative, tone and style because few are beholden to traditional ratings or advertisers anymore. Which is great for all us viewers! If the advent of television in the 1950s marked its Golden Age when the industry rules were set, then this time - here and now - can easily lay claim to the title of The Second Golden Age of Television where the only rule is: There are no rules.
