This is broad, but internet culture seems to insist that everything has to be either the best thing ever, or the worst. Most things are actually pretty average - that’s why it’s called an average.

I've noticed a trend with online discussion about Doctor Who, which seems to be: The current showrunner is the worst ever and is killing the show, the previous showrunner (who was maligned at the time) is actually not so bad and under-appreciated, and the showrunner before that was the real genius behind it all.
