I don’t know who’s writing the scripts for a lot of these shows on Amazon, Netflix, and the other streaming platforms. Sometimes it honestly feels like AI wrote them. The dialogue is so bad it doesn’t even sound like real people talking. It’s like they’re trying to be clever, but it never lands.
The characters all feel the same, flat, overly “cool,” and completely unbelievable. Nobody seems to know how to write actual human beings anymore.
And can we stop with the constant tattoos on every character? Finger snakes, letters across the knuckles, sleeves everywhere. I’m basically talking about the women in particular here. It feels like every character is built from the same template with deep seated emotional dissonance, but reel cool.
How about some characters that actually resemble common people? People you might meet in real life.
Until then, I’ll keep going back to Seinfeld, The Office, The Sopranos, and films I’ve watched countless times, stories where the characters actually felt real and the bad dialogue didn’t yank you out of the moment.
