Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
All I can say if a studio wants big audiences go with Netflix, sell an exclusive to a national broadcaster and watch your show disappear. How many great shows failed to catch on in the UK because broadcasters didn't give them a fair shot or the channel just din't have the reach. How many people do you know that watched fear the walking dead on AMC? C5 treated Braking Bad appealingly, And Californication got dropped by Sky and only got picked up again a few years later as a filler for their newly launched Sky Atlantic.
From a studio point of view if Netflix is paying the money and they have the audience makes sense to go with them.
They maybe building debt but that is no bad thing when you are talking such a global endevour, they will break even at somepoint.
