Me feel like good-enough-for-Netflix is just straight-to-DVD for post-DVD era. But it really muddy waters when more-than-good-enough-for-theaters movies like Prey or Luca also get dumped onto streaming.

And one thing me predict will happen in coming years is that waters will just get muddier. We already have oddities like Sherlock — 3 90-minute movies as season of TV — or MCU — essentially episodic TV series in movie form. And lines will also blur between "web series" on YouTube, and streamer on more respectable platform, and TikTok and Twitch and whatever other format comes along that me to old to grapple with.

But realistically, is Good Mythical Morning somehow less of TV show than Tonight Show? It certainly more engaging. And 15-second ProZD skits or Ryan George Pitch Meeting funnier than anything SNL is giving us. So me for one welcome our new streaming content overlords, as this breaking down of boundaries between formats mean we likely to get interesting things happening in margins.
