Broadcast TV and platforms like Amazon Prime are increasingly featuring shows with simplistic, one-word titles starring rugged male protagonists, catering mainly to a dad demographic.
These shows—like Tracker, Reacher, and Jack Ryan—often follow a similar formula of tough men facing challenging situations, navigating complex mysteries, and engaging in romantic exploits.
The lack of distinctiveness in these programs is so pronounced that it prompted the creation of a quiz to differentiate between the various 'dad shows' on air.
The central theme across these shows revolves around conventionally attractive white male leads in gray t-shirts, perpetuating a specific archetype that's becoming tiresome.
