“I guess I’ll just take a piss on this million-dollar IP! Come on!”

With 4 episodes I have to finish just to finish (so I’m binging now and hope they don’t pull it at midnight)

*Now streaming on Max!

Narrator: They weren’t.

It’s like if the head of Disney literally collected the six Infinity Stones and used them to wipe out half of all Marvel movies as a tax write-off.

Disclaimer before I make the following statement: I am not American and therefore not weirdly hand-wringy about a certain word I am about to use

“Check your app, pal, because you’re watching Fuck City, now streaming on HBO Max!”

Oh I get it now, Gob Bluth is in charge of HBO!

Is this a case of “saving the company” or more of a “cut ALL the expenses so I can claim to have increased profits for a massive bonus before I jump ship on the drained husk of the once thriving company” situation?

I get cancelling shows if they’re not pulling in the numbers but why on Earth would you remove a service original entirely? Is it really taking up that much bandwidth that might otherwise be used for more stupid fucking reality TV?

I enjoyed The Nevers and would love to watch the rest of “season 1" but if it’s an original HBO production how would it end up on another streamer/network? And wouldn’t they still have to pay residuals which is what they’re trying to avoid?

This is totally bonkers and alarming.  Moreso than Batgirl ever was. Like taking True Blood or something off because the show trailed off in the end.  Insanity.

I’m not paying for HBO if they are going to cut so many shows I enjoyed. Just try turning a premier cinamatic outlet into whatever the Discovery Channel is and watch it fail.

Jeez, is HBO gonna start charging for blue check marks now?

“Subscribe now and maybe you’ll get to watch your favorite show before it disa- oh wait, no, it’s gone forever.”

Welp, looks like its time to finally do what I was too cheap to do a decade ago and splurge on the complete The Wire box set so I can show my grandchildren what America was like

Oh, I think if you look around you’ll find there’s a whole torrent of ways to get it.

The guy running HBO sure does seem to suck. 

Why do people who don’t like things get put in charge of those things?
