With my coziest pink pajamas on, an oversized mug of chamomile tea radiating heat onto my left hand, and my right clicking through endless titles of shows, it’s my ideal night, a crisp fall evening with my eyes glued to the screen. I try finding a show matching the cinematic atmosphere created by Amy Sherman Palladino. But my search for something fresh always leaves me pressing play on “Gilmore Girls.”

TV shows have changed. And each day, the streaming industry gets worse.

Streaming services are filled with basic content and are unable to come up with good ideas that won’t be despised. The only streaming service shows I can trust to deliver good content were ones made more than a decade ago such as “Friends.”

My own frustrations with streaming platforms began the moment I turned 13. I was barely a teenager, looking for a cool new show to tell my friends about, but instead, I found copied ideas and awkward shows.

One of my favorites, “That 70’s Show,” was a hit with stars like Mia Kunis and Ashton Kutcher showcasing their talents and launching their careers, but Netflix couldn’t seem to leave it in the past.

The sequel, “That 90’s Show,” was supposed to appeal to younger audiences, but instead of offering fresh ideas and new topics, it is yet another basic teenage drama surrounding a friend group dealing with growing up.

Coming of age is the premise of every other show that surrounds teenage life. If I wanted to watch a show that covered what life was like in the nineties, I would watch something made in the nineties.

Shows like “That 70’s Show” and “Beverly Hills, 90210” were known for bringing up hard topics and tackling subjects revolving around teenage substance abuse, racism and violence against women. These topics were mostly ignored at the time, but these shows challenged and brought up real social challenges.

But now, big streaming platforms like Max, Hulu, Prime Video and Peacock ignore what’s going on in our world and focus on surface-level subjects that refuse to address the real problems of today, like mental health and the impact of social media in our lives.

Life is different than what it was in the ’90s, and the refusal of streaming companies to address this damages entertainment and turns me away from the different platforms.

Star Wars is the perfect example of this.

I remember being obsessed with “Star Wars.” My sister, dad and I loved every moment of it and it always made me laugh hearing my dad try to imitate Chewbacca.

With Disney’s newest $230.1 million addition, “The Acolyte,” to the “Star Wars” franchise, I miss the days of Chewbacca even more. I cannot even begin to summarize how bad the show was. The plot kept jumping around, unsure of what to do. It didn’t add to the “Star Wars” universe, if anything it took away from it. Even Star Wars Club Grandmaster Rohith Mehra said he was “very, very disappointed in it.”

“If [Disney] continue[s] along that same trend, it’s definitely going to go down a lot because obviously ‘The Acolyte’ was despised pretty much by the community,” said Mehra.

Between “The Acolyte” and “That 90’s Show,” the lack of creativity is everywhere.

I am tired of the lack of quality content. I want to see a show that teaches me, relates to me and makes me feel something besides annoyance. I want to see a show that criticizes societal issues. I want to see a show that does something different. Our world is so focused on TV that provides us with a scare or something to boost our adrenaline. We forget that TV can provide us with laughter and happiness instead of fear.

Not only do I have to deal with the lack of creativity and happiness, but nowadays streaming services are selfish with their episode releases.

The rise of these 10-episode series came from the rise of social media. Apps like TikTok and Instagram provide people with 15 to 30-second videos that entertain endlessly. Each catered specifically to what a person wants to see and leaving us with shorter attention spans and a need for more entertainment.

Streaming services play into this and leave us with these short shows. They use short ads and targeted content to try and play into our short attention spans. If I do find a good show like “Nobody Wants This,” it ends quickly with the new 10-episode trend. I end up on a new TV show every two weeks with subpar writing and it gets tiring. I constantly watch trailers and sift through the bad shows trying to find something, anything, good to watch.

“Gilmore Girls” is an amazing show, but I am exhausted from having to watch the same thing over and over due to streaming services’ negligence of quality and quantity.
