Yes, I know that it already started 4 years ago with the Warner Bros Discovery merger, but now it’s COMPLETELY fucked.

The “Top 10 Series Today” here in Denmark are as follows:

  • 7 reality shows
  • a true crime show
  • a prequel series
  • a sequel series to a prequel series

Do they even do ANY original scripted shows anymore? You know, the one thing HBO was ever great at?

Or maybe it’s the other Danish viewers who just can’t get enough of the above crap? Both?

Either way, fuck Skydance, fuck the Ellisons, fuck the Trump kakistocracy, and fuck everyone else responsible for this travesty! 🖕🏼🖕🏼

    Reality is great, why don’t you like it?!

    You take actors that don’t need to be paid union rates, very low edit costs, nearly no writing, and you pad the drama out with as many camera swaps as you can.

    Oh, now that there’s a whole universe, let’s remove regular people. You remember Allan from The Dates of Wrath, Jared from Big Brother Orphans S24, and Sara from Lingerie Island, and Nina Bimbina from Real Housewives of Bumfuck Nowhere?

    Now you can watch them on Totally Not Mafia But In A Castle!

      That sounds like a reason to invest in RealityTV; a reason not to watch it.
