Executive producer isn’t as interesting as, say, “director”... but it could be good

Jordan Peele as a director is batting 50/50. Us was bad, get out quite good.

I’m mostly amazed by the incredible step up amazon has had in production… seemingly in the last two years.

I mean they signed/secured shows with movie icons like Julia Roberts and now Al Pacino, they are doing LOTR and going straight to two season; Jack Ryan as well important lead and a good show. There’s other stuff I totally don't care for like the Orlando Bloom/Delavigne show, but still impressive in the overall picture.

It’s amazing what *checks notes* endless billions of dollars can achieve

What I meant is that Amazon, despite the available cash in hand, was very conservative in terms of strategy, stingy I’d say, with all that “season of the pilots” business they had going on.

They just delayed getting into serious business and their option wasn’t as enticing as the other services until basically last 12 months.
