Perhaps the finest example of this school of thought can be seen at Warner Bros. Discovery, where David Zaslav ascended to the throne of chief executive by overseeing the Discovery Channel’s transition from nature documentaries to reality swill. The “content”-ization of that conglomerate’s holdings is the only reasonable explanation for the decision to rename HBO Max as simply Max — removing the prestigious legacy media brand that most clearheaded, marginally intelligent people would presume to be an asset. It lost 1.8 million subscribers in the process, but that’s merely the battle; it won the war, because when you visit Max now, the front-page carousel is a combination of scripted series, HBO documentaries, true crime and reality competition shows. It’s all on equal footing; it’s all content. But “Casablanca,” “Succession” and “Dr. Pimple Popper” are not the same thing — and the programmers of a service that pretends otherwise are abdicating their responsibility as curators.
I like original programming too, if it's good. But if it carried the currency for as much as it cost, then Warner Brothers wouldn't have went thru merger after merger once the Warner family lost control in 1968. This is what has to happen so that you can keep getting your event Sunday shows.

Dark Winds season 1 and 2 still on AMC+ , that is fiction and takes place in the 70s.

This is a documentary and present day.

And this is a map of Navajo Nation, larger than five states.

Came out with 3 one hour episodes. That is the series.

Also check out Wardens of the North, I believe its about Michigan Park rangers.
