After the crap that was Wheel of Time, they probably need it.

Note to self: a bunch of pretty 20-somethings can't save your script if the audience is given little reason to care about anyone on screen.

Netflix and Amazon keep trying to manufacture their own cash cow, Game-of-Thrones level show but refuse to invest both the money and (slightly more so) due diligence that HBO does.

Wheel of Time was not a low-budget show.
but it looked like one
I actually be enjoyed watching "wheeel of time" with my kids. Family friendly fantasy shows are so rare.
Bosch was a really good one. Will recommend it. It is among all-time-bests, I will say.

Tales from The Loop was unique and dream-like. I liked it for being so original.

Wheel of Time bloopers made me feel like it was "manufactured TV". So, didn’t watch it.

I hated Amazon for killing Mozart in The Jungle.

Oo I just started reading the Bosch series, am excited to pick up the show when I'm done!
How do you find the books? Worth reading?
I've read the first couple and it's p good mystery literature. It's not "growth" reading, more like fun reading. I'm enjoying the 90s throwbacks too, without cellphones etc.

My wife has worked her way through most of the series and says it gets better.
