      But in a world where everything is turning to streaming and subscription models, the company cash flow now has nothing to do with your given success, so they paint you one way or the other to help their $$$ side.

      I understand some of what I'm saying is generalization and there's a lot of little finicky points in this. There are people are genuine damn experts in all of it (and fighting accordingly). But this is absolutely the broad strokes of what is happening.

      What's hilarious is the studios would have LOVED to have this years ago because it meant they wouldn't have to have shared backend, etc. But now we're undoing basically everything those artists and unions fought for.

      "But but but please tell me it's good for consumers?" Sorry, it just means your favorite shows are going to get cancelled more and for less good reasons. Also movies don't make economic sense for streamers soooooooo not looking great on that front either.

      Who is this ultimately good for? The answer, like most late stage capitalist developments, is always just the major streaming companies and that's it. So it may just seem like numbers reporting, but it's part of the ever-widening, horrifying jaw of the haves and have nots. END

      This is really important thing to add! The whole thing is it's not true. HBO will tell you that taking great shows past a couple seasons can ABSOLUTELY bring in new subs, in fact, it's the best way to do just that.https://twitter.com/SweetCammyMac/status/1354827525722140673 …

      Replying to @FilmCritHULK
      I recently read that streaming services (maybe just Netflix?) don't want a show to go for more than 2 seasons, because anything after that doesn't help bring in new subscribers. So there's that, possibly, as well.

      Look at the ratings below for Game of thrones. The ratings for breaking bad got bigger with every season. It is absolutely CRITICAL for your business. So why isn't NETFLIX realizing that?https://watchersonthewall.com/game-thrones-breaks-new-viewership-record-season-8s-winterfell/ …

      The simple reason is because they haven't had a GREAT show yet that scaled up (outside of bojack, that went 6). It's mostly the mix of bad creative models and constantly misunderstanding their own data because they look at it from tech perspective over creative.

      I swear every time I see Netflix talk about their data it's like the scene in THE JERK where the gunman is shooting at Steve Martin and hitting the cans and he's like "He hates these cans!" No, people don't "prefer" two seasons of slapdash TV that peters out quick.

      Read a recent interview with Greg Daniels, where the Netflix execs were explaining how their data is better than network notes - then Daniels countered that The Office was still their top show and it was made at a network.

          The thing with Bridgerton is that it has to be a hit so they can satisfy such a massive deal from a much less prolific creator than Ryan Murphy (currently, at least). The only metric that would really count is how many people watched 2 minutes of the finale.

          The last 2 minutes of the Bridgerton finale (not sure if you watched?) is when the season’s huge reveal is made. I think Bridgerton is different because there are 8 books & contained period dramas are often watched in a whole. Also is Shonda Rhimes less successful than Murphy?
