Dude. We’ve watched two episodes and I had the same thought. It’s so gratuitous I actually was wondering who the creeper behind the camera is.

Burned through the first seven episodes of Ozark S4. Tried to watch Archive 81 but too corny.

"What Netflix’s results have shown us recently is something more fundamentally scary for Hollywood: streaming television is going to make less money — maybe a lot less money — for entertainment companies than cable did."

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Not really sure how to respond to that. Just an interesting article about Netflix's market woes of the last few months

Okay but there's probably only 7-10 years left of human civilization so...

I just don't know if historically these industry-wide crises really result in the proliferation of smaller, more diverse, creator-driven projects. But rather in fewer, more expensive, "must-watch" event productions (as well as the cheapest of the cheap, which doesn't mean quirkier, small-to-mid-budget creative projects but reality TV and documentary series... both of which have an outsized presence on Netflix already)

I think that comparison is fundamentally flawed due to the difference in resources (not only gear but personnel) that each artform requires. At least at the scale we're talking about here

I agree that physically making the thing is more accessible than ever, but securing distribution for it really isn't. The Issa Raes of the world are extremely rare cases. An overwhelming majority of the time, these projects are completed, they play at a couple film festivals, and very likely end up in extremely niche streaming services like Vix or Filmzie or FilmRise. Relegated to the platforms most people don't use, because the big streamers don't take a chance on them, and theaters are only playing the guaranteed money-makers. So they fade into obscurity and the director takes up a job editing YouTube videos for rich 20 year old gamers

I just watched. I was expecting more after this post. Meh. May not have even noticed if I hadn’t read about it here first.

Watched first ep of Inventing Anna. I’m in. I’ll watch Julia Garner in anything.
