Netflix's The Get Down - Cost 16 Million Per Episode

[Sauce Dab]

reading the article looks like half of this amount is due to the production stops and restarts/reshoots. they really didn't plan that well from the jump. it also tells me that Netflix isn't really sweating the price tag. What are Netflix profits looking like

That's obscene, but.....
a black and brown cast/movie getting royal treatment

It honestly makes no sense...
This shyt is a period piece about the origins of Hip Hop. Not Bad Boys 3....


I enjoy it immensely, but that budget is ridiculous

It's a good show, but 16 million a episode?

Pathetic. This is why HBO will always be king.........minus Vinyl.......wtf were they thinking?

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

No show should cost that much.

You couldve bought all of The Bronx for 190 million in 1978. The show was decent, but that is an absolute waste of money. It's not even that impressive visually...
