I'm sick of prestige TV. Its my second least favorite storytelling format, behind prestige (naughty dog) games. All prestige really means is that everything is drawn out, methodical, and the story has a massive interest in wasting your fricking time with endless shots of nothing happening; a technique used to make sure the lowest common denominator is able to grasp the fricking story beats, by bashing each one into your head for 30 minutes minimum.
The Sopranos, The Wire, Oz, Better Call Saul even fricking Breaking Bad to an extent strike me as amoung the worst offenders. And they are all so fricking dreadfully serious that when something funny happens, the best you can muster is a restrained chuckle. Stupid fricking montages siphoning 20 minute chunks of my life away drive me up a wall. 
Better Call Saul is the newest pile of 60 hour shit for normies to masturbate too and I really don't think any of these motherlovers will remember more than 20 minutes of post season 2 shit.
Brevity is the soul of wit. If you can't make a fricking simple story in under 2 hours, you're a fricking hack. You're not airing game of thrones, your making a prequel to someone elses original thought and take yourself so seriously that you made a 1 hour black and white hiest montage.

For BCS, a competent writer could have worked to the bar hearing from s3 in like one season, or even a movie. People watch these prestige shows for the drip drip drip of great material, but they're constantly being taken advantage of by pointless cliffhangers, worthless side characters, subplots that get quietly forgotten, etc.

The nothing moments are just phone breaks for the attention deprived r-slurs.
