He didn't just pressure I remember reading a few weeks back of their being evidence he hid a mattress behind his warped wall gym and had sex with a minor there. Authorities found hidden photos in his phone etc
Fate: The Winx Saga is doing much better than I would have ever predicted.
Number 1 in Canada - shook 😂

I know it has a separate thread, but this is pretty big news for Peacock. Even with WWE not being as popular as it used to be.

Sunday night's ratings. They came in super late today for some reason but last night's NFL game clearly dominated:

I mean, paying 200 million a year for just over 1 million subscribers (and dropping) sounds like a bad deal when looking at a potential return as low as 50 million a year and as high as maybe 100?I know it has a separate thread, but this is pretty big news for Peacock. Even with WWE not being as popular as it used to be.

I just don't see how they're gonna get a return on their investment on this.
Evidently it's really big with kids between like 10 - 15. A couple of my friends have posted about how much their kids love this Winx thing they've never heard of lol.
I'm assuming that HBO likes what they are seeing from the Last of Us adaption.

That looks good. HBO Portugal has it on the homepage for a couple of days now but I had no idea what it was, going to watch it some time this week.
I quite enjoyed Bridgerton's first season. Some story lines felt artificially dramatic and convoluted at times (when it comes down to "this character doesn't know how to communicate anything ever in the slightest" it gets a bit tiresome to me :P), but it still was a pleasant enough experience overall that it was easy to overlook and just get into it. It's a good comfort TV show, and I get why people enjoyed it. I'll be waiting for season 2 now!
Can't wait to watch this. The main character looks kind of annoying, but I trust Russell Davies after Banana and Cucumber.
I agree with that. The trope of "this whole thing could be resolved in an episode if the characters would actually just talk to one another" is one of my personal most-hated and it did make several episodes in the middle a bit stretched but overall it was an enjoyable watch.

If they play their cards right, TLOU has every ingredient to become a WW phenomenal.
Who's watching HBO MAX overseas?
gonna be another one of those awkward "whatever streaming service/TV network gets the rights in your country" kind of deals
HBO Max is expanding internationally in the second half of this year.
The thing, HBO is know for the quality of their shows and a lot of peopel know the channel from GoT, while the streaming service enter the market at the end of GoT it still got popular in Europe, also because of chernobyl.
TLOU(game) is extremely popular in Europe, so you can get the worth of mouth really fast and with Sony behind it you can easy see the sucess.
Let's see who they will cast for the roles.
HBO Max isn't available in Europe. Some countries have an HBO streaming service but not all of HBO Max's content is available there.
That's going to take a long time and they'll likely be missing huge chunks of their content that they've sold in local markets that they have to wait to get back, most of WB's content is all over the place. Disney+ consolidated most of their stuff ahead of time but was still missing things internationally. Took Netflix years to catch up to where they were in the US as well as investing into local content. It'll almost certainly be a soft launch.
the timing is awkward. Either they launch on an anemic streaming service or sell the rights. Game of Thrones was local broadcast/services.
It'll happen. Last of Us won't be out until next year at the earliest. HBO Max will be in Europe by then.
It will come out in 2022, the pandemic just acelerate everything in terms of stream services, i believe that by the end of 2021 the service wil be available.
The show or the cartoon?
I guess I worded that poorly. I don't mean HBO Max literally being available - although I think it'll take years before global availability - I mean it being a service anyone watches internationally, regardless of whether it's available.
Oh, I thought we were talking about the new show, not the cartoon.
If the show is good, the yah, peopel will sub.
There is also GoT sequels and Harry Potter and other stuff that resonates with a lot of peopel, as long as the content is there peopel will sub.
The cartoon is really popular, not sure about the show tough but i understand why they kind went more mature since winx is very old cartoon.
Game of Thrones and Harry Potter are burning goodwill at an alarming pace, I don't think they're sure fire bets. And TLoU is what, a third the size of The Witcher? It's popular with PS gamers which is respectable but not guaranteed tens of millions.
and again like I was saying: HBO Max will be missing a ton of content in other markets. WB spent years selling it all. They might have even sold some originals, I remember when Netflix launched here it was missing House of Cards lol
Might be better it isn't, for the show at least
The Witcher is more than just the game, something the game fans apparently didn't realize going into the series (is my understanding, I only know Gwent)
They are indeed, but that is the thing, a good trailer and peopel will be all over it.
That is why i said they need to nail the cast, if they get good actors on it they can easy push it and with Sony marketing behind it is easy to see, plus, they already have a initial millions of peopel that will whatch it and the WoM wil be great, as long as the show is good.
The Witcher book sales are at 15 million and I imagine there is a tremendous amount of overlap in the venn diagram of game sales and book sales.
It is a drama show, does things sell like hotcakes.
Plus, they said they will bring new stuff.
So 65 million between Witcher games and books vs. 24 million (probably more with updated TLOU2) sales. I'm sorry my numbers were off slightly it's more like 2/5 the size?
my point wasn't to start a war between the two series, my point was it's a bigger IP on a dramatically bigger service
What? It doesn't work like that at all. There aren't 65 million separate consumers of The Witcher products. And that 15 million sales of the books is the entire series. People aren't reading book five of that series without having read the previous, etc.
You are being completely disingenuous and you know it.
Regardless of the man's previous work, people are going to be interested in what Craig Malin ("the Chernobyl guy") does next. The TLoU show is a big opportunity to bring in fresh people who know nothing about the game/s.
bro if you've got a hard on for comparing game series I don't give a fuck, I'm talking about what one IP brings to a streaming service vs a different IP to a different service.
LOL you are the one that started the comparison with poorly sourced numbers. Don't get pissed at me for correcting it.
I mean sure, I'll accept any corrections you want to make because it doesn't change my point at all
