[QUOTE="Brian Kinney, post: 370438, member: 3219"] I believe network TV will not offer such dramas any longer, they've tried more often than I thought: the music soap with Susan Sarandon or the religious grifters one with Kim Cattrall (good fun) and [I]Prodigal Son[/I], the serial killer-soap which had at least two seasons. [I]Promised Land[/I] had the vine valley but minus the [I]Yellowstone[/I] photography (which is like a part of the cast) and irritated with a flashback-storyline, too less drama and no easy-to-love/hate characters. I liked it nevertheless but I see why it failed. Network TV in the US doesn't have much more money to spend on serialized stories. I'm certain they would be rather independent from the almighty Dick Wolf Productions but their too busy keeping the status-quo. Streamers are open to serialized shows but not to the soap genre or with a family as relatable as the Waltons, Ingalls or Lawrences. [I]Star Trek, Star Wars, The Walking Dead, Interview the Vampire[/I] are also serialized franchises and all of them exceed the background as it was also done by [I]Yellowstone[/I] (Western and soap, also a franchise) or [I]Succession[/I] (office/business) the soap who managed to avoided to be called soap by most critics.
