    “ The sudden decline in Netflix’s share price and the growing fear of a recession have forced Hollywood into a new period of fiscal austerity.

    In the latest new trend, networks are canceling shows that they already agreed to make. Peacock shelved plans for a “Field of Dreams” TV series from the co-creator of “Parks and Recreation,” while HBO Max canceled “Demimonde” from “Lost” co-creator J.J. Abrams.

    As one successful producer said this past week, the Hollywood train is still moving but the brakes are starting to squeak. — Lucas Shaw”

    Good there’s too much tv literally impossible to see every good show within a lifetime

  • Jul 5, 2022

    Not if Amazon has anything to say about it. They’re starting to throw a ton of money into shows.

  • Jul 5, 2022

    Read about that JJ Abrams show and apparently they're shopping it to streaming platforms.

    Makes more sense tbh - less TV would be a good thing. Too much mid/ass shows on Netflix/Amazon etc just to drive revenue.

    I miss the golden age of Lost/HIMYM/Every 2000s HBO show/2000s police procedurals

    “The industry made 559 scripted shows last year, up more than 200 since 2013, the year “House of Cards” debuted. That doesn’t include all of the unscripted programs, including competing docuseries on the same subject.”

    Definitely has not ended yet.

    Peak TV: The period of proliferation of TV shows in the late 2010s resulting in a multitude of quality programs across streaming, cable, and broadcast platforms. The phrase, attributed to CEO of FX Networks John Landgraf, originally referred to the seeming unsustainability of such a large number of shows.

    Listen to me.. watch it.

    It's right on par with Breaking Bad and a lot, and I mean a lot of people like it more. I was hesitant at first but it's truly captivating. I promise you will not be disappointed.
