The revolution will not be televised: 2016 was the year TV turned upside down
It’s crunch time for television we’ve always known it: 2016 was the first year the most must-see shows went missing from terrestrial channels. Streaming has changed the game forever.
In 2016 the difference was this: the shows that couldn’t be seen in the old ways were frequently the must-see ones.
Three of the most talked-about series of the year neither occupied a time-slot in the schedules nor required a conventional TV: the royal drama The Crown and the retro-thriller Stranger Things were streamed by Netflix, and The Grand Tour, Jeremy Clarkson’s post-BBC vehicle, on Amazon.
