It's interesting because you see all of these streaming services and they're all relying on huge shows basically.
-Amazon is really counting on LotR to be the next GoT. Back catalog is fairly minimal.
- Apple has a few select projects, but practically non-existent back-catalog.
- Netflix has their original shows that hit, but many of them end after only a few seasons and OITNB just ended as well. They have a huge back catalog, but a lot of it sucks. Tbh, Netflix also does virtually no advertising for their shows, so they are relying on their shows creating buzz to get recognized. Netflix has also cornered the market with stand-up specials.
- NBC... i'm not quite sure what they have outside of their hit comedies. Being free/ad-supported is at least something.
- Disney seems to be pushing The Mandalorian as their GoT. Plus they have all the Marvel shows, other originals, and the largest back catalog anyone could ask for for the price.
- Hulu has Handmaid's Tale, Marvel's Runaway's along with a Live TV option and they get many network shows next day. I actually use Hulu the most out of all of my streaming options right now.
Netflix is gonna take a hit certainly, but if they just learn to control their spending a bit more, they should still be fine. There will always be a place for them, they just won't have the whole cake anymore.
