Yes, they actually have one very, very important thing in common that has directly to do with what you are saying, which is that they are released... TV used to know how to create conversations. And it did that by releasing one episode a week so that your friend could be like, you know what shows really good? The Pit. And you're like, how many episodes are there?

And either they say two and you're like, great, I'm going to catch up. Or they say like there's seven season that they all came out four years ago. And you're like, well, that's never going to happen. Yeah. And so I strongly, strongly believe that the weekly release is a huge part of why all three of those shows have been so discourse-y lately.

I think both White Lotus and Severance are built on this prestige TV model, this peak TV thing where it's like you find a guy and you give him a billion D dollars and then he goes off and creates a whole season of TV and he's an auteur and he's a genius.

Like, what if I just made the most, like, it feels like a show that you watched in 1995, but we're going to streaming it, right? Like, we're going to be able to have gory medical procedures.

streaming shows from the last 10 years forget how to make television. And watching The Pit feels like somebody finally remembered how to make television again and put it on a streaming platform. And I'm just so hopeful that other streamers look at this, other creators look at this and are like, great, we can make Suits again too and put it on Netflix.

There are seven episodes, so you get toβ€” You've already seen it all. I have, yeah. I'm really excited about Andor. It's not quite weekly release. It is in chunks. It's like three episodes a week for a couple of weeks.
