Not a surprise, but wow, a lot of money.

Clearly as Netflix itself has said, Friends and The Office were very popular shows on the streamer, so why don't they try and replicate this with their own comedies? They have some, but not many. I don't understand why Netflix forks out billions to make its own dramas whereas comedies filmed mainly in tv studios could be made cheaply and by the dozen.

Does this mean that Sony's crackle is being wound down, otherwise why sell the show to a competitor platform?
