When you're in your 30's you've pretty much seen all the basic storylines. I have higher standards than most people. Yes, the writers have to give me a reason to sit through your 10-20 hour TV show.

I have no problem turning off a show and not finishing it. I don't waste my time watching garbage. I'd rather watch an educational youtube video than some fantasy show that is trash.

There is a reason some filmmakers are revered. They do a good job of setting things up and tell a story way better than average joe director. It actually DOES take skill to tell a story in an engaging way. However, a huge portion of the population is like you, and will eat up slop, because your standards are very low.

Watch Rush Hour. The first movie is so basic, but it does a great job setting everything up. The character motivations are all solid. Everything makes sense. It's a great example of a fun movie that is made well. It takes maybe 5 minutes to set up the entire story.
You know how they make the Dad and daughter pinky promise that he's picking her up from school? THEN she gets kidnapped? That 'laggo' pinky promise is sacred. Just one touch like that ads so much weight to the story. You actually care about the kid in that movie. Also, Jackie Chan is established as her friend, so he cares. Then Chris Tucker's character evolves through the movie, but he doesn't COMPLETELY change, so he's still believable. Great film. Watch Rush Hour with a filmmaker lens. Rush Hour is a genuinely good movie, which is why it spawned a franchise.

There is absolutely none of that in Wilds.
