We have the most prestige TV now than any other time. Streaming has given us so much great quality TV by itself, but it also allowed more traditional TV the ability to expand and gain stronger followings.
That same era also has A LOT of crap and mid level stuff, but it also has the peak.
I actually think 2020 onwards can be reunderstood as the “International Era”. Production from outside the USA has exploded and is more accessible than its ever been, so when people express grievance with say, post-2020 content (especially the release schedules) - you can point out how you aren’t really confined to the USA anymore.
2010s to 2030s, maybe longer.
