Yeah eventually someone will figure out how to write or edit a streaming show and we'll be in business.

I mean I'm kind of kidding, kind of not. I think almost every streaming show/miniseries I watch, I would struggle to call any of them like, a real solid screenplay start-to-finish. But it is a youngish medium. Maybe we'll get there. We have to demand it first, I think.

Or we can act like "The White Lotus" is the most we can expect. You'll take your obviously padded rough draft and you'll like it!

And you know my hobbyhorse. Netflix, Apple, whatever, they're doling out money left and right. But (say it with me) are they doling out pre-production time, production time, and post-production time, commensurate with "movie quality but five times as long".

I mean neither are a lot of movies these days I guess.

I think creative people are amazing and that, if they have the time and money, and if they have an organic story to tell, and we're not just hyping up three episodes over and over, then they are fully capable of writing a good ten episodes start-to-finish.

It's weird to me that everyone talks about TV as the pinnacle of pop art right now yet also plainly do not even expect good writing, when you get right down to it.
