rjw63 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Just finished Ray Donovan season 7. Possibly the best season yet, terrific writing and acting. Be a sad day when this show comes to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a show is relatively successful, that could end up being very expensive so unless it's a runaway success, it's more cost effective to can it and pick up the next script from the top of the incoming pile. Thinking about it, I probably read that on VT in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) I'm hoping them putting that up is a precursor to them giving him the money to make a film or TV series, as long as they give him total control.

Definitely not for everyone, but if the idea of a 4hr+ Japanese film exploring the links between religion, cults and perversion lie seems right up your street, then it's worth a watch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does, but then I think their metrics must work for them. Maybe a show with more views, according to how they measure it, is more successful for them. If they're cutting shows and commissioning shows based on that then it must be in their interest. I dunno, I'm thinking out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, I'm thinking out loud. They must have done it for a reason, for sure. All I'm saying is that I don't believe the claim that The Witcher is the most-watched series ever, when they've just made the metric measuring this massively easier before its release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
