5/30/19 It's Bruno!? (Netflix series)

    I totally believe the future of "shows" is in the hands of providers like Hulu and Netflix and maybe this is a sign of things to come.  I totally loved the idea of a ten minute show.  It allowed just enough time to start liking the characters and know what they are about, but there is also no time to waste.  For a while now, I have had trouble staying with even an hour long show, because shows don't have to be that long.  I used to love watching Bones with Wife, but the truth is that they needed two or three story lines to fill the hour time slot.  This is the same in most shows, but if we tune in to watch a show, it should be about the main characters.  If some other characters are interesting, give them a spin-off show and see what happens.
    This is what they did with the hot daughter on Black-ish and I guess Grown-ish has been doing ok as a show, but the daughter has been exposed as being kind of a piece of shit who can't keep herself composed and was caught cheating.  Not the point, but I do like that occasionally they do spin-off shows off of certain characters.
    "It's Bruno!" will probably just be called stupid by Wife and most other people, but I get it.  It is a very focused look into this one guy's life and his interaction with his dog, Bruno.  The first episodes sole intention was to introduce us to his neighborhood, and show what he will do to get his dog the food he eats.  It was almost pointless, but also the most important thing for the character to accomplish.  He thinks of Bruno as his equal and they show this when an old lady starts petting Bruno, he asks her to stop, and then he goes and pets her granddaughter on the head and asks her if she likes that.  The old lady is taken aback, saying no in the process.
    I don't know if the series will get a second season, but why not?  Why do shows have to be an hour or thirty minutes long?  The only reason is so they fit on a schedule for regular TV stations where they only offer new programming from 7-10pm.  This is very limited thinking and planning on a TV station or cable provider.  They already have stations dedicated to everything else, why not shows that are as long as our attention spans?
