For instance, I watched Brave New World in 2020. It was on Peacock. One of their early releases. It was cancelled after one season. It wasn't bad, but I feel like it had Apple TV written all over it now.

Overhyped, meandering, and lacking a cohesive vision? I dont see how that would be an improvement.

Witcher was fucked before they even started shooting, because the writing team was picked based on the popularity of their recent works, and the executives who hired them never actually asked them what they thought of the original books. Turns out the writers completely hated the books, and picked chapters totally out if order to adapt into episodes.

And the first thing they did was to remove all humour. Dumbasses.

Haha fair! I was moreso thinking of the first four seasons which had high production values, clever writing, complex characters of varying genders, races, and ethnicities, and also political intrigue.
