Hi Beth - found you in the Office Hours earlier today and as a prestige TV fan thought I’d check out your newsletter. It’s great! I really like your writing style and even with shows that I couldn’t get into (Sex Lives of College Girls), your write-ups make we want to either watch or give a second chance. I will say that I’m not especially sad to see any of those HBO shows go, other than maybe Raised By Wolves (which I never watched season 2 of even though I really liked season 1) and Made For Love (which lost me in season 2). The unnerving part is that they are pulling a lot of older shows that seemed like they would always be available to stream as they are HBO productions. I feel like the low-brow element of Discovery is going to slowly eat the prestige soul of this once quality-focused network. Hopefully I’m wrong.
