For now. Unless some other service buys it.

"Warrior is expected to debut on Netflix in February 2024. If it does well, Netflix could presumably order a new season of the drama based on an original concept and treatment by Bruce Lee, sources tell Deadline exclusively."

There's some hope, at least.

Honestly, for all the objections I have when people decry modern TV and the golden age as ending, TV copying film and becoming bogged down in spin-offs and sequels will start to hurt the industry in terms of quality

I really hope we don't see a glut of spin-offs across the streamers. People should be less credulous.

The world is already somewhat 'consolidated' right now via services like Netflix, Hulu/Apple, Amazon content that mostly drops everything they make or commission internationally on day 1.

The point is that this all derives from a fundamentally archaic worldview. It's utterly absurd that I can't legally purchase or stream shows like Dummedag (an example) because I don't live in Norway. My only option in many cases is piracy. Do some of these studios not want people to purchase their content?


Here's my solution to this, the EU should've said: If you refuse to make your TV show legally accessible either to stream or to download for a certain country, piracy of that show within that country should be legal.

I would support the end of all geoblocks, or the legalisation of piracy for shows unaccessible to particular countries (for the citizens within)

I’d be interested if people in Europe find the current system to be a significant hassle or not.

It just means people pirate. This really should've been solved some time ago. A TV show being accessible does not inherently mean that it must be streamed, it could be a digital download. This is why a Steam storefront-type setup should exist for TV with no blocks. You can buy any TV show you like, £10-15 a season (prices could vary obviously) and it's yours. Netflix and Amazon and Disney etc would exist alongside it as streamers. Or the EU should've thought about a pan-european streaming service.

The European Parliament should've just alternatively done this.

If you refuse to make your TV show legally accessible either to stream or to download for a certain country, piracy of that show within that country should be legal

I would argue this is more damaging than most things for places like Lemmy. The wrong people pick up the communities and just abandon them or completely mismanage them. Can't be helped though.

Although I no longer regard it as near my favourite: The Walking Dead.

Somewhat. Try "Falconer". They have a sound a bit like this.
