Executive: Guys I have an idea: What if we offered stuff that was good?

Would be nice to see 3rd seasons greenlit instead of culled. + They have a backlog of quantity now so the pivot shouldn't be too crazy.

Sorry, those were only slightly profitable, not wildly profitable. What do you expect them to do, only make some money?

HBO did that for years.

I don't understand why more companies just don't follow that process.
