” Is it bad/good or is it just the way it is?”
I feel it’s technology and special effects,everything is noisy and fast and action-filled.
The blockbuster,well attended movies are NEVER quiet,plot based stories but noisy,action based stories. A movie like “Casablanca” would only be shown at the art houses today.
This seems to have carried over into sports——more goals,more home-runs etc. is a better game for the spectator/viewer.

Why not one of the pay ones? I sampled some of the pay streams, and lo I saw commercials. When I am the product, why does the product have to pay to watch commercials? Not that I care that much for "live" viewing -- if I like the series, I buy a Blu-Ray of the season when media becomes available.
Makes more time for other things, it does.
