Let’s be clear: I think Disney+ is a terrible idea from a business perspective. They’re literally paying billions to establish a streaming service–keep in mind they already own Hulu–when sans the streaming network, they could be selling their content to whomever was willing to pay for it. And EVERYONE would be willing to pay for […]
Apple TV+ dropped a full trailer for their upcoming series, The Morning Show and it looks pretty remarkable. Definitely prestige television though what I wonder is if it’s enough to get people to pay for another streaming service. This is particularly relevant when you take into account that we have Netflix, the upcoming Disney+ and […]

Could someone please tell me how series a based on 2007’s Event Horizon is supposed to work–I’ve got some ideas but I’m reasonably certain the series wouldn’t take the path I have in mind and even if it were to, I’m not on the writing staff and who’ll buy the cow if give away the […]
Netflix’s The OA had been officially cancelled after two seasons and I’m oddly sanguine about it. The series is so odd and quirky that while I’ll miss it, I couldn’t imagine where it would go had there been a third season. And let’s be honest. I’d prefer The OA to end at the top of […]
