You could view the term “Peak TV” as a pejorative — a catch-all that describes a bloated slate of television with no feasible way for a viewer to navigate effectively. Or you could view it as a promise — the idea that we are living through the peak of television, that there are underrated TV shows everywhere if you know where to look.
And where to look, for many TV consumers, is the Internet. Streaming services are the TV devices de rigueur, with many companies offering original content, a library of classic shows, and next-day reruns of what airs on terrestrial or cable television.
