This network is one of the biggest in the world, but there’s worrying up top regarding the future of the company and their relevance to the public. Their biggest hit is ending / has ended and nothing else currently airing really comes close. It would be better if they had some potential worldwide successes on the upcoming slate, but insiders tell me that they’re not confident with any of the new shows.
So, tell me, Gossipers:
What is our network?

THIS. I admit that even though I buy cable I watch so many shows after they’ve been uploaded to illegal torrents just to avoid the commercials.

I ask people why they torrent and a lot of people say it’s because it’s just a lot more convenient…

It’s inconvenient to me to sit through ~20 minutes of ads, I’ll say that.

HBO, Game of Thrones is ending. Should not have canned David Fincher’s Utopia remake.

They greenlit TWO JJ Abrams shows recently and they still stopped work on Fincher’s Utopia show. The executives don’t know talent.

The pre-production must have been a huge mess because not only was Rooney Mara attached to star, but Fincher’s other television project was House of Cards…
LikeLike
I don’t think it was a huge mess. It came down to money and they didn’t want to spend it. Fincher doesn’t play around and go cheap.

I think that was just a cover. Shows don’t get to that stage without a budget already being agreed…

Isn’t Big Little Lies arguably bigger than Westworld? It won more a lot more at the Emmys and the ratings aren’t that far apart.

HBO has Game of Thrones, Westworld, Big Little Lies, Veep and Silicone Valley. GOT is definitely the biggest show, but Westworld is worthy replacement and Big Little Lies, Veep and Silicon Valley have loyal followings and win awards on a regular basis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programs_broadcast_by_HBO#Current_programming

Netflix. House of Cards was their grand achievement and that is ending soon amidst controversy due to the Spacey scandal. Stranger Things, 13 Reasons Why and The Crown are successful but they don’t touch the initial success of House of Cards.
