If you're reading this, Netflix, I'm willing to do the exact same thing for just $40 million.

I’ll do it for just $500K and it’ll be a series about a man (me, extra savings on casting) wildly misspending the money battling a capitalist society run amok by paying off his mortgage and student loans. Episodes are about 30 secs to 1 min, depending how long the payment sites take to load.

$500k will only barely get you a Rolls Royce Phantom, though 😞 Nobody should be expected to work under such horrible conditions.
