Yes, I know that it already started 4 years ago with the Warner Bros Discovery merger, but now it's COMPLETELY fucked.

The "Top 10 Series Today" here in Denmark are as follows:

  • 7 reality shows
  • a true crime show
  • a prequel series
  • a sequel series to a prequel series

Do they even do ANY original scripted shows anymore? You know, the one thing HBO was ever great at?

Or maybe it's the other Danish viewers who just can't get enough of the above crap? Both?

Either way, fuck Skydance, fuck the Ellisons, fuck the Trump kakistocracy, and fuck everyone else responsible for this travesty! πŸ–•πŸΌπŸ–•πŸΌ

As you said HBO has great scripted shows. So don't forget about the catalogue. OZ, The Sopranos, True Detective, Watchmen, Lovecraft Country, Deadwood, Chernobyl, The Wire, Succession, and Barry.

    How is Lovecraft Country? I watched the first few episodes and it seemed really good, but I got distracted by things that came up I guess and never finished it.

    IIRC, the lead actor I think has some kind of controversy a few years back. I really liked him before then, but I think he did something fucked up.

    I was disappointed when it was canceled. The lead actor was good, but apparently beat up his girlfriend. He got canceled from Marvel over it and the last I heard from him he was in a movie produced by the Daily Wire, so.... a falling star for sure.
