And that’s why I at least appreciate that they’re willing to throw money at things. Rings of Power would have been cancelled after season 1 on most services, maybe a 2nd season, but certainly cancelled after that. But Amazon? They’re in it.

Plus they can throw money at the right projects. Fallout was excellent. The Boys and the spinoffs Gen V was solid. Invincible is one of their best shows.

They’ve also been funding the more niche Vox Machina. They’ve been able to get big talent like Donald Glover and for Mr & Mrs Smith, while also keeping Phoebe Waller-Bridge around, paying her just to see what she comes up with.

Also they’re not slowing down. They’ve paid a shit ton to get the rights to James Bond. They’re funding a Warhammer 40K TV series.

They are throwing money at this until it works. It’s a big dartboard and they have a lot of darts. They’re going to hit a few big points.

But… They’re going to miss a lot too.
