> As an observer, what still seems odd to me is the low number of shows or movies they are producing with that massive budget - last year "The Get Down" apparently cost $16 million per episode while the entire, huge hit, first season of "Stranger Things" cost $13 million.

You think that's crazy? They paid Dave Chappelle $60 million for _3 standup specials_.

Damn. And it wasn't even funny.
Few things are more subjective than humour. I watched the first one and I'm half way through the second. I thought what I've seen of them was pretty good.
The first one was pretty good, but that second one left no real impression. It felt like he was using more clever humour in the first, and just went full on shock value for the second.
