I half kid -- Plepler was great at his job! but it's weird the consensus is "making more shows will hurt HBO creatively" when nobody has even an operable theory of why that'd be the case

HBO has made a lot of money of its boutiquey, Apple-ish, not-much-product vibe... I just don't understand why any *viewer* would be attached to it. say they add 10 new shows, 2 good, 8 awful. that's two good extra shows! don't watch the bad ones! how hard is this?

Curation cost. The one thing I'm willing to pay extra in this world is stuff that's consistently good so that if I don't have to wade and waste time + attention. I have no idea why any brand that has a reputation for quality dilutes such a valuable thing with increased quantity.
