This article is just, “making a TV show is expensive and a lot of it goes to the place you made the movie” ?
Why is it being framed as some huge charity case/economy boost? It’s a TV show and they filmed it in one of the most expensive places available.
I suppose it could have all been sets and greenscreen and it would have been cheaper, and it was an intentional choice to spend more money in the city, but I didn’t the why mentioned in the article at all.

Article made zero mention of how much the actors got paid from that 143 million

Also doesn’t mention how big the tax credit was. I mean, if it was a $20 million tax credit but the $143 million was actually spent on local goods, services, and employees, then that’s still great.
“Zero Day” also participated in New York’s film and TV tax credit program,”

Because the lead actors aren’t part of local spend.

Even if they are local actors? And if that aren’t, how much more could be spent in that area if they were
And okay, l gets say you are right, they barely mentioned where 40 million went, where did the bulk of that money go?
If you didn’t pick up on it, what I’m suggesting is that the break down in the article was extremely light on where about 100 million dollars was spent where the article claims cause it and like that’s a lot of bidding information
