Netflix is on the clock

- Ozark done
- Stranger Things go one more season left
- Umbrella Academy is now officially washed
- Marvel shows gone


I think House of Dragons will be mid but with Disney focused on the quantity rather than the quality, HBO got the juice right now

I just saw HBOMAX is now included in the Nielsen streaming ratings and didn't have a show in the top 10 in their most recent weekly listing. They got the prestige but ot the views right now. :francis:
House Of the Dragon will fix that. The fact that they got to #1 before their boy boy comes out to play is huge for them though. The ratings for that show will be huge. After that the next step will be to develop prestige shows that people actually watch. I love Barry, I've heard Succession is really good but it doesn't seem like any of that shyt is popular. I could be wrong but it seems like the last "big" shows HBO had were Game Of Thrones and True Blood. With HBO Max doing its thing, it seems like there should be a priority to return to how they had the early 00s set up where they had the big popular prestige show (Sopranos), the big comedy (Curb), and the less popular prestige show (The Wire).

I think Succession could be that, really they need to get their subsription numbers up which is happening and being available in more countries would help a great deal. Their programming/production strategy is on point.

HBO been putting out heat since the 90's, it's inevitable they take the crown.
