Recently I am really annoyed by so many shows telling their stories by spliting timelines. Sometimes Multiple ones.
The last show where I didnt mind it was season one Witcher because it wasnt immediately obvious.
But now, I an so TIRED OF IT. Watched Black Bird, that was bearable; but then Dopesick, Girl from Plainwille, Unde the Banners of Heaven and now started Five Days at Memorial and its All in diff timelines is too much too annoying.
I hate it. And it seems every new show does it these days. Just give me one linear story and one timeline.
Its so overdone.
Anyone else over this whole several timeline thing?

It doesn't bother me, but that is probably because I don't watch TV, dish, cable, anything. Just DVDs of old favorites. All this stuff, streaming, dish, pay per view... all input overload. One day I MIGHT get an antenna to watch broadcast, because I miss PBS.

I love watching new shows but this is getting out of hand. it feels like what happened with mockumentary after The Office and or breaking the 4th wall after House if Cards. Everybody started doing it and now its too much. Sometimes the shows have like 3-4 timelines aaargh. |

I don't watch enough new television for it to be an issue, but yes any narrative or dramatic "gimmick" is going to get tired if it's overused and nothing new, interesting, or creative is added, so I can understand your frustration.

I’d get annoyed if they started doing that during the news.  |

It can be fun but wouldn't want to watch that type of thing all the time. Pun intended.
