I hope so, and as you say, I think there are golden ages and dark ages, times when we've had some really good games and titles, as well as memorable movies and sagas, and others that, as we know, have been quite dark and bad, as you've so aptly put it.
Hard data cured me of romanticism. Browsing year-by-year summaries on Wikipedia or industry websites of what games, films, and TV series were released in a given year. It's not always the case, as I said, which is why I wrote that sometimes we have a few outstanding titles a year, sometimes 1, sometimes 5, and sometimes 0. There's also the cyclical nature of games selling well, companies and large corporations coming in to maximize profits... And then the developers have to save it. + probably some other variable factors.
So, I'll definitely check out the series when it comes out. It intrigues me to some extent, but I have no expectations until I see how it develops.
Regarding the Norse saga, I understand that many players didn't like it, but for me, it was a very appealing refresh for the game itself and a very good installment. Let's hope the series can live up to it.
As for the TV series, I'm not looking forward to it either. Generally, I try not to get my hopes up for anything in the entertainment industry anymore, because I know what it's like. It's all about money, and while hobbies can be very important and useful, they don't really matter compared to the bankroll. Each hobby has its pros and cons.
Yes, well you know is a business for the majority of the workers behind. I don't consume this kind of thing as a "hobby"; I don't consider them that way. Series, movies, games, music, mnaga, etc., for me are forms of expression (artistic, if you want to see it that way), and I do enjoy watching one or two every now and then. It's not like I have much time to sit down and watch a series; I'm actually busy, an average of 100 hours a week, and it's quite difficult for me to enjoy them. I try to watch what catches my eye and quickly discard it if I really don't like it; I usually drop it after the second episode.
However, we'll see. I hope it lives up to expectations, haha.
