cutting back on pricy, riskier endeavors in favor of lowest-common-denominator genre fare

going to have to “perform incredibly well” if it’s going to convince Netflix to sign off on another season—and even after two weeks of being the biggest show in the world, “that still may not be enough.”

it’s “a really expensive show”

Even leaving the wokeness aside, it seems like the industry is becoming increasingly screwed up. There seems to be little room for having lower budgets and making the most out of them and telling a story that can stretch multiple seasons. Not that most of the stories they want to tell these days would be worth it anyways, but still.

Not everything has to be an 8-10 episode movie.

I caught the same thing while reading it. The streaming services used big budgets to fight, and have defeated themselves with debt. The Woke angle is a sign of their ignorance to what people want, but not the killing blow.
