    Hey you wanted to host your own streaming service because that’s what the cool kids were doing.

      Don’t worry, they’ll pass the costs along to consumers while simultaneously reducing the quality of the service. Thankfully the shareholders won’t suffer much

          Ok sarcasm aside, Killing It was excellent. Still need to watch Poker Face but that was very well received as well

          But yeah, most of their shows are trash because they have to be … they needed a lot of content cheaply and quickly

          But then again so are Netflix’s and most other steaming services offerings

          Peacock straight up has some of the best content you can find on streaming - just not a lot of it.

          Poker Face was insanely good. Bupkis and Killing it are awesome. Twisted Metal is better than it has any right to be.

          Hopefully, if Peacock tanks, these gems find homes elsewhere

      After abandoning their first streaming service in the ditch because they didn’t know how to market it
