You're right. That's one of the reasons why I wish they'd try 15 minute soaps again. As it is, I think there could still be an audience if soaps were willing or able to find their core again, but that doesn't seem likely.

15-minute soaps would be great. They also should be taped live, so the actors don't get lazy and phone it in.

I agree!

A shame that type of show seems like such a rarity now - even the streaming services seem prone to just more melodrama or generic action and adventure.

In my heart, I would like to believe that the dearth of character-driven series like Family on TV today was what ignited the emotional response to Heated Rivalry. Fans of intimate, nuanced character dramas are not necessarily satisfied with a steady diet of generic action/adventure/sci-fi/supernatural/comic-book material. I crave to see literate, mature series more often .
