Are those long, drawn-out, aimless tv shows still a thing?

but do the shows still come out? I remember hearing about that Westworld show for like two seconds before people gave up.

Yes, I never watch any of it. It's the same thing as Gen X watching "The Practice" in 1999 but repackaged into 120 different shows watched by 1 million viewers each. And everyone gives themselves a pat on the back and self-righteously tells themselves, "TV? Basic cable? Yeah, no. Network TV??? *spits out soy milk* haha"

Time was, we used to know what crap was and what was good. Crap existed but we KNEW it was crap. Now it's all merged together, TV shows shot in digital/widescreen are indistinguishable from $50 million movies to the untrained eye.

Postscript: I play video games devised by insane Japanese men that have 7 hours of cinematic cutscenes. I also Read but I almost never enjoy it.

if anything tv shows are made on the cheap today more than they were in the past. A 90s Fox drama was shot on film and in various locations in Vancouver or LA. Practical effects were more common and expensive than CGI. The average Netflix show looks like it was shot on a mid range digital camcorder from Best Buy and has maybe four locations and some obvious studio soundstages.

You have a Trained Eye imho. But on-location shooting wasn't the general rule for TV (unless you mean shooting in Canada for stuff set in other places). There are vast Sets used for, say, NYC outdoor shoots out in L.A. used in god knows how many TV series.
