Im concerned they will pull these from this fucking app.
My guess is that they wouldn't pull those. I'm sure they have all the internal numbers on what shows paid subscribers watch most often, and it's probably legacy shows like this. How often do you see someone post, "Re-watching The Wire again!" It's something people return to again and again. Versus: how many times do people post "re-watching Westworld again, can't get enough of this!"
From what I understand, some of the HBO-owned shows that have been pulled (like Westworld) are destined for an ad-supported app that Warner will release like Amazon's Freevee. Shows that were produced by other studios will probably be able to be gobbled up by other streamers if they want them. Then some stuff will just disappear.

OK so I just finished White Lotus. I think I enjoyed Season 1 more overall, but the ending of Season 2 was exhilarating, very unexpected. Fucking great show. Thanks for the recommendation, RM Mosquito.

We were looking for something to watch and stumbled upon and decided to check out Santa Camp.
Pretty interesting.

I skipped White Lotus season 1 but Sydney Sweeney's been great in everything I've seen her in.

I've never seen her in anything else. She mostly moped about and pouted in White Lotus.
Yeah I mean, that’s the character. Seems to me she plays it well. Is she like that in all her roles?
