  3. #Video #TV #PeakTV #Streaming #Hollywood: "Like cryptocurrency, which has created massive on-paper fortunes built atop 1 + 1 = 3 arithmetic, streaming TV has always seemed too good to be true but seduced a lot of smart people anyway. Over the past decade, Hollywood completely reorganized itself around the digital model, as once-mighty networks and studios turned themselves into apps and abandoned reliable income streams hoping larger ones would materialize. They tripled their output, overpaid Oscar winners to debase themselves in miniseries, and hired all of your friends to work in writers’ rooms. Viewers across every niche and taste cluster were inundated with more bespoke programming than they could ever realistically consume.

    We knew it couldn’t last, and it didn’t. Amid much lip service to fiscal responsibility, streamers have signaled plans to make fewer shows — a dramatic shift considering that the number of original scripted series had exploded from 210 in 2009 to 599 in 2022. We’ll still have enough to watch, at least for a while; billions will still be spent, and Ted Sarandos alone claims to have enough Netflix content stockpiled to last through the strike and beyond.

    But for a certain type of viewer — imagine someone in her 30s or 40s who has never in her adult life had to worry about where her next critically acclaimed dramedy would come from — something already feels like it’s ending. Peak TV, as one of the industry’s most powerful tastemakers wearily puts it, “was a brief but intense mania that led to too much television.”"

  5. I finished Willow over the last week (not super, but doesn't deserve the level of hate it seems to get). I adored some of the characters, but the quip-iness was often over the top.

    I also caught up on Ted Lasso S3 this weekend which hasn't hit the highs of S1, I’m loving them fleshing out more of the characters in the show. Without spoilers, it REALLY feels like a spin-off (or more than 1) might be coming post-S3…

  7. There's truly too much #TV these days! I just found out about an alternate history #HBO limited series starring Winona Ryder, Zoe Kazan, and John Turturro that came in 2020! In April of 2020! How didn't I watch this when it was on?

    It's about Lindberg beating FDR and America sliding into fascism! Too many cool shows exist and are coming out at an increasing rate. I'll be checking it out unless Warner-Disco already removed it from #HBOMax
