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.

All of those shows were made pre takeover and top 10 is usually either highest rated or most streamed or a combo of both. There's a lot of reasons to bash this merger but this isn't it. It's only been like a week, not even enough time to do much even in this fast paced modern world.
Yeah. Wait a little bit as the new company cuts production while not making anything novel. For instance, Lanterns looked good, so they are going to have to kill it.
Reality is great, why don’t you like it?!
You take actors that don’t need to be paid union rates, very low edit costs, nearly no writing, and you pad the drama out with as many camera swaps as you can.
Oh, now that there’s a whole universe, let’s remove regular people. You remember Allan from The Dates of Wrath, Jared from Big Brother Orphans S24, and Sara from Lingerie Island, and Nina Bimbina from Real Housewives of Bumfuck Nowhere?
Now you can watch them on Totally Not Mafia But In A Castle!

That sounds like a reason to invest in RealityTV; a reason not to watch it.
Oh, you want to watch TV, this is all for our shareholders. Low costs high viewership.
Its always a good time to rewatch The Wire.
I’m boycotting CBS because of this. Which is too bad, they had some fun stupid game shows and reality shows I liked. Oh well.
That’ll do it

We should really normalise the use of that classic term...
Just wait till Flyboys is the highest rated movie of all time, EVER!
