Reply to comment by pm_me_reason_to_livx in “Euphoria” is getting a German adaptation, with "Druck" team Jonas Lindt and Paulina Lorenz set to write. by pm_me_reason_to_livx

It’s actually pretty close to the cost of HoTD. They spent more on marketing on that show though.

HBO is incredibly concerned about budget. At that price, Euphoria is a massive failure.

If they're "incredibly concerned" about budget... then why renew it?

C'mon, there's no way you can say that with a serious face. This show is one of the most discussed in recent years. Even Bratz just did an animation of the popular "Bitch you better be jokin'" scene. Regardless of the budget most shows don't get to the level of relevance Euphoria has gotten.

Because they’re bad at business? You can be bad at business but still make Hollywood content. That’s why Zaslav is trying to completely overhaul the company, they have huge debts and aren’t chipping away at them like say Netflix is.

You are disconnecting the actual numbers from your argument. It is not popular by that metric. It is very popular for a very vocal but small niche, however. There’s definitely a lot of memes. Not a lot of watchers, though.
