Part 9/11:
Personal Reflection on Viewing Experience
While Brett acknowledges the show’s technical mastery and compelling storytelling, he admits to feeling a sense of emotional detachment — a contrast to his past enthusiasm for media that once captivated him. He attributes this partly to the length and pacing of streaming episodes, which often extend beyond what he considers optimal, making it harder for him to stay fully immersed. He notes that The Wire’s shorter seasons and tighter storytelling remain a benchmark for compelling, binge-worthy television.
