Tbh, a single platform with all the shows would be like £100 a month.

Netflix CEO denies rumors around David Fincher's 'Squid Game' remake
(koreajoongangdaily.joins.com)
For now. Unless some other service buys it.
"Warrior is expected to debut on Netflix in February 2024. If it does well, Netflix could presumably order a new season of the drama based on an original concept and treatment by Bruce Lee, sources tell Deadline exclusively."
There's some hope, at least.
Honestly, for all the objections I have when people decry modern TV and the golden age as ending, TV copying film and becoming bogged down in spin-offs and sequels will start to hurt the industry in terms of quality
I really hope we don't see a glut of spin-offs across the streamers. People should be less credulous.
The world is already somewhat 'consolidated' right now via services like Netflix, Hulu/Apple, Amazon content that mostly drops everything they make or commission internationally on day 1.
The point is that this all derives from a fundamentally archaic worldview. It's utterly absurd that I can't legally purchase or stream shows like Dummedag (an example) because I don't live in Norway. My only option in many cases is piracy. Do some of these studios not want people to purchase their content?
Here's my solution to this, the EU should've said: If you refuse to make your TV show legally accessible either to stream or to download for a certain country, piracy of that show within that country should be legal.

Tech glitch, apparently
Although I no longer regard it as near my favourite: The Walking Dead.
I personally would submit 2011-2021, and that's not recency bias.
If your preferred format is episodic, or sitcoms then you'll disagree
I agree although I am not sure Chandler Riggs was up to it
Thing about the 20-24 episode format was that it felt different from films. A modern TV season, to me, feels like a stretched out film. Older TV felt more like chill time … like going to a restaurant you like and visit once a week … like hanging with friends. Which may or may not be laudable … but I think it was a different feeling from films.
You can still find that format in network TV. Of course it's mostly police, medical and lawyer shows but then that was always the case then anyway. A lot of younger people don't like the MOTW of the week 'chilled' format because everything felt irrelevant. The plot would resolve within the episode and the team would live, except maybe on a mid-season episode or end of-season arc. Everything would feel flat. Most modern TV shows are indeed now long-form movies (if we're being reductive) but the extra time to build and advance wider plots and do larger worldbuilding is why, or partially why, they've eaten into the diversity of contemporary cinema.
I mean this is a specific format of the west. Korean dramas, for instance, do not necessarily have that format. I assume you've watched Severance, by the way.
Otherwise I would note Dark, Foundation, Altered Carbon
I also don't see it's substantively more notable than the old 20-24 episode monster of the week format that was prominent prior to streamnig.
