Amazon to Lay Off ‘Several Hundred’ Across Prime Video, Amazon MGM Studios, 500 Cut at Twitch
Amazon is laying off "several hundred" employees at Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios.variety.com
Streaming is a scam and a disaster these days, diluted products with ads creeping in everywhere, too many garbage shows and anything half decent gets cancelled after 1-2 seasons, wasting everyone's time.
I call it the "George RR Martin" effect where you get invested and then it never gets finished.
Haven't paid for a streaming service for years, barring Prime a couple of times a year but only for the free delivery.

What/how do you watch anything on TV at home in that case?
I have prime tv (due to amazon delivery) but never use it ever, and Netflix, and have moments throughout the year where I consider to get rid, however that leaves me with no TV whatsoever

I think didn't make enough money.
I couldn't find anything about the show being cancelled? Source?
The peripheral? https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/the-peripheral-canceled-amazon-season-2-renewal-1235700019/
This abomination hasn't been cancelled yet

They are like guys that buy big trucks to compansate for smaller other areas.
I misread thought they meant RoP.
THE RINGS OF POWER IF DIRECTED BY PETER JACKSON...(It's created by an amatuer on https://www.reddit.com/r/midjourney/ apparently, but obviously using AI tools) - still wipes the floor with Amazon's $1BN effort.

Of course it is, what did you expect?
How many other full adaptations of Tolkien have there been on TV - talk about a low bar!
And even then, it's still total ****!

OK I'll rephrase.
It's better than the LOTR trilogy, and a million times better than the hobit atrocity.

What a peculiar response.
We have to be honest, the hobbit was terrible and just as terrible as rings of power, which was a Peter Jackson trilogy, and would likely have suffered from one of the same issues as the hobbit, which was that way too much money was put into the show, and into cg rubbish

I like how you ignored the part where he said it was better than the LOTR trilogy
