I had to check if i'm not on Succession subreddit....

Nip/Tuck, and later seasons is from S2.

Spy shows really took off lately, but it doesn't feel like that quality followed.

It's not and that's kinda annoying. I don't remember exactly, but the vast majority was waiting for crew to set up off-camera.

I wonder if the problem is that their audience profiles are too similar and merging them in USA would only result in losing subs of those that pay for both services.

We're they anything more than fine? I've only seen trailers and they were pretty meh. And with all the content I'm rather picky on "fine" shows.

Eventually they could, because they didn't own the show, and didn't like splitting profits with Warner.

They literally fired executive that signed on making over 10 mln dollar pilot. I'm not even sure who was right in that case.

We go from "absolutely ridiculous" amount of content produced to "ridiculous".

Nobody's gonna notice a difference for the next 5 years.

I haven't watched that many titles this year, only a handful, but Mob Psycho 100 S3 has been way above everything else. Amazing season.

Interesting thing about The Crown - unlike Manifest or Warrior Nun, it does not manage to interest people in earlier seasons enough to bring any of them to top 10. Maybe viewership split between 1 & 4, or maybe people don't feel the need to rewatch because they change cast or it's based on historical events? Either way that sustained interest might matter in renewing Warrior nun and Manifest (or maybe it ends, i have no idea).

Very short and frankly, very simple. It should get released on YT as Mandalorian promo, not behind paywall.

And Netflix is available worldwide, while peacock barely moved outside of USA.

Pretty surprised cause Netflix hasn't been into buying failed projects lately, but nice that they have.

And as for the Peacock... They must be in a pickle. There has been actually very little movement between platforms recently, so allowing this is sign of weakness.

Why it shouldn't count? They both belong to the same corporation (Disney). They have a deal where FX is the producer but distrubition is solely by Hulu and you can't watch them on regular FX (Devs, Reservation Dogs, The Bear). If you can watch them on Hulu, they count.

A) iTunes sell movies. They are literally doing what you suggest right now.

B) Don't just buy content. Buy competition. Amazon bought nice cozy library of old movies when they took over MGM as well as Bonds. Or collaborate with some other streaming service like Peacock, which struggles to be relevant alone, but if you could get in one pack both Apple originals and giant library of NBCUniversal's old titles, that becomes good deal.

Saying there is no cost to streaming scaling is not entirely true. The service still pays for the data transfer and running servers per user; and the cost is highest for ATVP where all content is in high bitrate 4k HDR. They are still paying royalties to the creators. And it needs constant updates with new content which is not that easy to aquire.

And while Apple currently outsources production, it's not as trivial as you make it seem. Making a modern TV show is a business for thousands of people. There is big logistic behind each, and Apple orders dozens of them every year.

There are services with low upkeep, but this one has to constantly evolve with new content making it quite costly. Apple supposedly spend 22 bln dollars on R&D in 2021 - compare it to 18 bln dollars that Netflix spend on content creation and something like 7-8bln Appletv plus had budgeted.

Kinda, but even then you need some really good arguments after losing north from 20 billion dollars in 4 years on a project. While they can lose more money, they need some evidence that it makes sense in longer period.

Tbf, they did add lot of good TV this year, more than D+ without Hulu or Prime. The problem isn't new shows, but old content, which they have none.

If we believe that AppleTV+ has only 25 mln paid subscribers, that extra $2/month adds up to $600 mln per year, with budget started that at $6,5 billion in 2019 which they likely went through by now.

Even with the price hike they are gonna be losing more money than the budget of several other streaming services.

I meant that emotionally I'm not ready for >!genocide of Gelflings!<

Yes, but... Given that we know what happens from the movie, I don't want to watch it.

Edit: cause it's not a happy story, not cause it's poor story.
