Can you elaborate on this a bit? The pricing for the services seem to be in-line with the rest of the industry[1], and I'm not aware of any "block buster" TV Shows or Movies released on either Prime Video nor AppleTV (in fact, Prime Video has one of the biggest TV failures of all time[2] under it's belt, titled "Citadel").

Netflix, Paramount and the rest are swallowing up small productions too.
From an industry-outsider's perspective - now seems to be the best time in history for small, quirky, weird, niche productions to get in front of huge viewership numbers.

- bombcar 3y agoDisney did a few "direct to Disney+" releases (and eventually on DVD, Blurry, etc). The third Hotel Transylvania movie was direct to Prime (Amazon bought it fully made).
- sleepybrett 3y agoTed Lasso was an AppleTV+ production. One of the biggest streaming success stories, right up there with your stranger things, etc. The Boys was an Amazon production. Also a huge success story.
- VanTheBrand 3y agoTed Lasso is a Warner Brothers production licensed to AppleTV more accurately.
