It’s like that old adage, I only paraphrase, every story is more or less the same- man leaves on journey, or stranger arrives in town.
I do not subscribe to that bullshit because then every story in the world could be summarized with “something happens, the end”.
Our humanity may stay more or less the same (that’s why we can feel with both men and gods in the Iliad as well as be incensed about contenders on Big Brother, right?), but our circumstances change, our challenges change, our culture changes, with all their peculiarities and specifics that makes fresh voices and takes worth watching, because this particular thing has never been suggested before.
Furthermore you could say the same about music- there are no original tunes anymore because it’s already all been done, right?

Not right.
