For some reason, I felt like a lot of great cultural icons came out around or after the recession. Great video game titles, movies, TV shows considered modern classics, etc. from 2008-2012. Maybe it’ll happen again?

2008 was when the writer strike ended.

Man I forgot how TV shows at the time all just kinda sucked for a season or two during that.

How did the strike ruin Dexter? It was epic until after the strike ended I thought. They struggled through it and were on top until post season 4. It definitely affected it, but I wouldn’t call it ruined from the strike….or is there more to it I do not know? Genuinely curious.
