Kei SMDH. Meanwhile, is he auditioning for his Grey’s Anatomy walk-on?

I watched for the first time in ages tonight, which may have been a repeat (the blackout-in-a-snowstorm episode, which doesn’t feel very new-in-late-March). I laughed more than I thought I would.

Naomi’s marketing/PR folks are putting in WORK.

What’s happening with Vika? She’s getting demolished by Caroline Garcia.

I had forgotten about this lol.

Right, which is different. Netflix is more disruptive in terms of the medium and not necessarily artistically. I think Netflix has been aiming at a sort of total world domination and complete changing of the rules that HBO had never aimed for, which is why HBO is suffering such growing pains as AT&T is forcing them to adopt Netflix’s model of pumping out a high volume of content with only a glancing regard to quality. Netflix wants to be everything to everyone, which means a lot of middle-of-the-road sh!t. HBO has HBO Films, which had Warner as a distributor for their theatrical releases like the SATC movies, which had normal theatrical windows. And things like Leaving Neverland simply air on the channel, so there hasn’t been that conflict.

Wow. Make those coins, Rodgers & Hammerstein(‘s estate).

Teddi is getting annihilated on Twitter.

I thought his message was clear: in a time when TV was becoming more adventurous, instead of following in the HBO mode of being disruptive creatively, Netflix is churning out formulaic schlock based on viewing patterns and algorithms. People in the comments are awfully defensive.

F*CK YEAH, THIEM!!!

THIEM!!!
