Seems to be UNESCO and Netflix associated

Directors on TV matters far less than on movies. They don't build the thing the same way, that's the showrunner job.

It's really not the same thing if you want to do a Star Wars movie to just go with a show

Isn't Thrawn meant to be for the Ashoka show?

I mean there's probably a reason. The Internet is actually positive is about some things when they like them and they're good.

Take for TV shows, House of The Dragon, The White Lotus, The Bear, Succession, Better Call Saul, The Last of Us... all in the last few months and I have only heard positive things about them.

Plenty of good directors work for Disney stuff be it Marvel or Star Wars, it's not new to this show. But they are muted and have no voice or style when they do.

If it's produced by Netflix (?), not sure it can be called indie. They are great at producing local content everywhere though. IMO that's actually one of their biggest strengths and a huge part of why the other services don't really contest them, they are way better implemented in most international markets because they also got local content. Amazon also has quite a lot (here in France at least).

Will definitively add that to my list, sounds very interesting

It's a sci-fi show, it's already "wrong", it doesn't try to be the real world lol.

A letter need to know their adress though, I assume most authors don't publically share their adress for obvious reasons

Yeah I think most author like that very much especially smaller ones. Of course, if it's a Stephen King type author, I doubt they even read fan mail anymore considering how much they probably receive. But you can probably still write, just know it'll not be read (or read and answered by assistants).

Black Sails wasn't even that successful, it's kind of wonder it got all its seasons to be honest.

Starz also doesn't really have the means to do big things anymore. Maybe if Lionsgate (that owns them IIRC) is bought by a big player ala Apple or Amazon...

Bryan Cranston was the dad for Malcolm in the Middle (7 seasons) then Breaking Bad (5 seasons and technically in Better Call Saul too). Also plays a dad in Your Honor (2 seasons)

To be fair, if people watch (and sub for) a show, it doesn't matter if it isn't talked about online.

Yeah lol it premiere in 2 months and we have seen basically nothing from it. They were promoting Rings of Power or even stuff like Jack Reacher or The Boys more and earlier than this show.

In 2021, it was 5.1 billions and 4.5 billions in 2022 so a little more

Netflix is profitable since a few years with around 4-5 billions profits per year. But Netflix is also having far more subscribers than the others so maybe that's the key. HBO Max still should search subscriber growth, they are far from the level of Netflix.

If they want subscribers, they maybe should have not stopped their international expansion. Tons of places don't have HBO Max

Not if they didn't have an offer. That debt is basically to add to the price Zaslav was just a big enough sucker to accept to buy at that price. Even companies which could stomach that debt like Apple just said no

Yeah a few billions per quarter too.

I'm actually not sure. We know people re-watch a lot their favorite shows on streaming too and it's probably the same on cable TV. Sure it's better to have a new hit but between a new show that may very well fail (most do) and a proven old show that people like and re-watch (like a sitcom), not sure which will be the best for ads.

Well Netflix actually makes money unlike the others. Also they're already the most expensive (or almost, I guess HBO Max might be more expensive) and with the password sharing thing, they probably think it'll go better with the price decrease. It's also limited to a small percentage of their base. 100-countries sound like a lot but it's only 10M people (which is 4% of their total base).

Plus they want to limit the impact of inflation and exchange rates in many of those countries I guess (it's kind of nice in general it goes the other way around)

IMO they should more revamp their tier systems but I guess it's still a good thing

No one really. Especially if Disney leave, Hulu has nothing it would be a service with users but no content.

Yeah I don't see why they would buy Hulu. It's not worth much, they don't own stuff themselves (even Hulu Originals are owned by Disney or Universal). I guess the user base is nice but that can be converted on Disney+

How so? He's far from being the business mogul that he is supposed to be in the future. Though at some point, I imagine it would have to quit the hotel but even then we still have some time before that (I imagine he ultimately becomes the boss/owner of the hotel)

> way too popular

That's in general a big reason to reboot something lol

> the way they casually threw around certain swear words would be unacceptable, even in a more open society today)

A reboot could happen without being faithful to that aspect of it

Not sure why that matters, Fox/Disney could very well reboot it without him involved (or not more than just a vague producer credut)
