294: Streaming Futures

So what do they have to offer?

Well, this is going to be a really interesting one.

I think the next 12 months is going to be really interesting.

So I looked into it and basically the way they've started it is a sort of best of.

So they've got a lot of the absolute classics on HBO Max.

They've got the obvious ones.

They've got Game of Thrones.

They've got Friends, Sopranos, Sex and the City.

they've really gone for, you know, if we had to do our top 10 best HBO series, then what would they be? And they've put them all on there.

So that's sort of like the hook.

And to be fair, it's a pretty good hook.

I mean... they're all quite long running series.

There's a lot of them I haven't watched, I haven't had time to watch.

Some of them obviously I have, but a lot of them I haven't had time to watch.

So it's very tempting to think, okay, it's an opportunity to watch them.

They've also chucked in some new stuff.

The one they've gone with is a medical drama called The Pit.

That's getting rave reviews.

It's won loads of awards, Golden Globes, Emmys.

So it's doing really well.

I think it's in a similar frame to um classics like er um basically i understand the way it's filmed i think is each episode is a 15 hour shift um showing all the the pressure and tension that goes on you know in a medical thing when you've when you've got loads going on and you're getting more and more knackered i think it's sort of it's sort of filmed almost in real time if you know i mean almost like 24 used to so that's been getting as you say lots of awards obviously they're they're ramping up um they've got euphoria season three and i did love definitely the first series second series quite enjoyed so they've got euphoria season three coming out um they've got comedy starring steve carell called rooster and they've got one you might be interested in jeff they've got a rebooted dc universe one following two green lanterns called yes lanterns yeah

Yeah, coming in the summer.

Yeah, apparently it's meant to be, James Gunn has said, it's meant to be a bit like a detective partnership thing rather than a less sci-fi, even though they've obviously

got

their green lanterns.
