This is just not true about TV.  Audiences are more fragmented than ever before.  Nothing today compares to the numbers old network shows did.  Over 60% of households watched the finale for MASH.  Over 40% watched the finale for Seinfeld.  Nothing (except for a few live sporting events) does those numbers anymore since there are so many different channels and streaming services.

Quality is a completely different conversation, and is going to heavily depend on individual tastes.

But you get to stream shows from all over the world now. (And find out it's all just the same with different paint)

Quality is subjective, but stuff like Tiger King and Squid game, not that good imo. It's got the shock factor but just as much toe cringe factor. However it can be watched world wide afaik. But indeed, very fragmented, making it much harder to make something culturally relevant for your target audience.

See? That's the thing. I found Squid Game to be REALLY good. Certainly a lot better than 90% of the examples of "best TV shows" that you gave back there.
