Hot take: Drama tags on streaming are a joke

Searched for dramas last night. The drama category had comedies. This tag system is not good. Need suggestions for real drama shows.

Ugh, I feel this so hard. I looked for a serious historical drama the other day and my results were full of goofy period comedies. The tagging is totally broken. If you want a real drama, try something like "Succession" for family/business fights or "Better Call Saul" for slow-burn character stuff. Have you seen either of those?

Tagging is broken, but searching for "based on true events" worked for me.

Wait WHAT, did you just call Succession a serious historical drama? That show's about rich people yelling in boardrooms, not like, actual history. I'm losing my mind over here trying to picture someone searching for a war movie and getting suggested a show about a media family. The algorithm is ON something wild.
