For me, Mo, the current reigning champion and proud wearer of the crown of King of Premium Mediocre is Marvel and the MCU.

Ant-Man, Black Widow, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, She Hulk, or pretty much anything that Robert Downey, Jr isn't involved with, aren't so much Movies or TV Shows as they are Diverting Entertainment Amusement Products.

Like Fast Food hits your taste buds, gives you that all important Dopamine Fix and satisfies your hunger, the MCU fills you up but it isn't very nourishing.

Early MCU maybe but the critics seem to be wise now. Plus there is rarely any pretense of respectability
