Telenovelas were always the thing. They are what they are because they were designed to be watched while doing other things without feeling regret when the other thing requires attention.

My mum watches the art form of cliche plots of first person AI narration with AI generated imagery. She always watched movies in bits and pieces on TV (also watched Gone with the Wind and other long movies in one sitting) so she would have appreciated "LoFi tv" forever.

Telenovelas and soap operas are cheap to produce. Netflix meanwhile raises prices every year.
