You are twisting the OPs words. There are many slow burn shows that are excellent. Slow Burn doesn't mean wasting the viewers time.

> Which is worse?

For me it is a show that is "worth the wait". I like to think of myself as patient with TV shows but if I am three hours into a show and it hasn't hooked me I move on.

> I re-watched "Hardbodies" (1984) recently and it's literally not funny at all. Just an excuse to get women to take off their shirts and let their breasts jiggle

That would be because it was originally meant for the Playboy Channel and later was bought by anther company for theater distribution.

I don't know what there is on the Federal Side, but really the answer is in what u/PleaseBmoreCharming posted:

> The Republican Hogan administration sped up the bureaucratic process for Boring, granting a conditional permit in October 2017 and an environmental permit a few months later.

Amazingly we have all become convinced that the Bureaucratic Process is the problem. The Bureaucratic Process is what prevents shit like this.

Reply to Do you remember most things between seasons? by JustForQuestions321

I don't remember everything that happened in last season of most shows. I will remember most of the main points but there will always be details that I have forgotten.

> How do you all do it?

I will do a re-watch leading up to the release of the new season. I am not one of these people who are on their phone or have the show on in the back ground. If I watch a show I watch it.

For example for the last season of Stranger Things I did a complete re-watch leading up to the release of the first half of S4. Prior to the release of the second half of S4 I completely re-watched the first half.
