Some have been on linear TV it's true, but I missed them. My point is that they won't be on linear TV in the first place in future.

You've only got to look at the listings magazines to see that they are highlighting more programmes being shown on the streaming services than on the pay tv channels as good to watch.

Apart from the films, these are the highlights shown just next week:

Good Omens (Prime)
When They See Us (Netflix)
Gentleman Jack (BBC1)
Britain's Got Talent (ITV)
Black Monday (Sky Atlantic)
The Oath (My5)
Always Be My Maybe (Netflix)
The Perfection (Netflix)
Good Girls (Netflix)
Killer Ratings (Netflix)
Bad Blood (Netflix)
The Society (Netflix)
Wine Country (Netflix)
Traitors (All4)
The Wandering Earth (Netflix)
The Planets (BBC1)
Springwatch (BBC2)

Whereas not long ago, there were just one or two programmes from the streamers highlighted in TV & Satellite Week each week, just look at it now! There's not really very much worthwhile highlighting now on the TV channels. That is the trend and it points to the future direction of TV.
