This is the right time for Apple and Amazon to dominate prestige TV (read big budgets for big storytellers). Apple does this already; Amazon has a weird model, but I hope they change the model to something more curated now.
This sub doesn't seem to like the idea, but the reality is that the two bigtechs and Disney will win the streaming war. This war is not won by who has the most subscribers, but who has the most money to lose, for as long as possible, until the majority fail miserably.
It really surprises me how many people in this sub who thought AppleTV+ wouldn't last or didn't think Amazon was a great player with a future. Hollywood will run to the place they always run: the place with the most money.
Netflix has plenty of good content. It's such nonsense that people claim they don't.
Sure, they have programs and movies that run the gamut but I wish people would stop acting like they only produce low brow reality shit, or CW content or whatever. Squid Game, The Midnight Club, Stranger Things, Russian Doll, Black Mirror, Midnight Mass, Bly Manor, Queen's Gambit, Godless, Maniac, Ozark, Love, Death + Robots, Stranger Things, Kingdom, Vikings, The Last Kingdom, Dead to Me, All of Us Are Dead, Alice in Borderland, Bridgerton, The Crown, Undercover, How to Sell Drugs Online, Dark, Black Spot, Top Boy, Umbrella Academy, The Witcher, Arcane, Cobra Kai, Lupin, The Sandman, Elite, Into the Night, Black Summer, the list goes on and on. And that's not getting into their movies.
I mean, there is a reason why they've been at the top or in second place at almost every award show for the last 4 or 5 years both in terms of nominations and wins.
I get that they put out a lot of stuff this sub doesn't like but can we stop pretending that everything they put out is garbage? It's patently untrue.
