Every streaming TV show represents a (min) 20-30 hour commitment ... But the incentives for quality are deeply misaligned.

I made an exception with Severance and regret it. Back to films after the finale.

Great read, love Trung

Sums up exactly why i only have apple and hbo and am selective on what i consume 

Severance and The Penguin are the only shows since GOT that have genuinely held my attention and have me excited

Ben confirmed that they have the ending for Severance so i’m hopeful this is only 4 seasons (max), secretly hoping it’s only 3 though

yea its fascinating that he lists Netflix as Must-Have, bc I just don't care. HBO and Apple only ones we pay for, and I'll probs kill Apple after Severance + a few other shows I'm interested in.

Ya definitely disagreed with that one too lol

HBO is super sentimental so i’ll never get rid of it but i just bought severance S1 on blu ray and intend to do the same w/S2

have heard of some other good shows on apple so i might check them out before i cancel, idk tho
