Reply to comment by JayPtl in What flawed show you just can't leave because it's really that good in certain parts despite its wrongs? by eidbio

I mean, Apple made Severance, so it's not like they don't know what quality is. And HBO made Westworld, and we all know how it ended. I guess I don't need to explain further.

When Westworld was where Severance is at now it was critically acclaimed.

Might not be the best two shows to make your point.

And then it went downhill. My point is that HBO doesn't ALWAYS mean quality. Want another example? Lovecraft Country, one of the worst shows I've ever watched with a great potential, and, again, it was on HBO.

To sum it up: For All Mankind would have probably been the same show that it is now even if it was on HBO, there's no way to prove that it would have been improved when HBO itself dropped the ball many times in the past.

I wasn't saying it was inherently a bad point, just that those were bad examples because Severance could easily go the way of Westworld.
