There’s a category called Microdramas on Peacock and every show just looks bizarre. Like the streaming equivalent of a B-movie or pulp fiction, except without the kitsch/camp

Hundreds of millions of people are watching microdramas, vertical soap operas for your phone. They have taken over film and TV production, with studios churning them out for cheap. Soon, making them may need no humans at all.

As someone who biked behind a guy who was clearly watching microdramas on the phone mounted to his handlebars this week, it’s not just a car problem, but the car makes the consequences of the problem way worse
I don’t think the giant infotainment screens in new cars are *good* but to be honest I think the actual problem is drivers just straight up looking at their phones while driving

This NYT piece on microdramas - and, specifically, the work of making them - is absolutely brilliant and an excellent lunchtime read: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/m...

Amazing read about "microdramas" and the culture industry, tl;dr short-form phone serial content is the market-driven "technological devaluation of all human striving" www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/m...

I find these new microdramas lack the charm and style of the earlier genre entries like Makin' it Happen

The CBC running a puff piece on microdramas calling them job creators and burying the fact that they undercut almost 60 years of union work and livable wages is certainly something.

Hollywood is in love with microdramas, for all the wrong reasons

Cheaply produced, highly shareable, and designed to make you pay.

My basic take on why Quibi didn’t succeed but microdramas have taken over the web is that everyone involved in making this knew it was dreadful, whereas the dreadful morality tales and weird quasi-pornography has a core of sincerity.
Sorry it just occurred to me that there may be people who haven’t seen clip from the Quibi show where Rachel Brosnahan plays a woman dying because of her golden prosthetic arm and I needed to fix that
