This has some great meme material.
Oh there are already some delicious Days of our lives videos out there.

I have no idea what Amazon is doing with the promotion here. From that Disa actor talking about the revolutionary moment, to these bizarre character videos.

There has to be someone at Amazon capable of sniffing the shit before it hits the fan, eh?

58 million an episode.....how do you spend that much for an episode of TV?

You throw a load of money at a production team, and don’t maintain any kind of proper oversight. Amazon’s biggest creative problem is that it has zero financial problems. And everybody knows it. All the production tenders that went out probably went to the most expensive companies.

But why reinvent that wheel. Go pay WETA for some of their tech.
Just think, if this show was coming out in the early 80's we'd have snippets from the LOTR movie (let's just assume those films came out earlier as well) being repurposed for the TV show, lots of fight scenes made for the pilot that get reused throughout the show, and probably some grainy stock footage from the 50's of random guys running around waving swords taken from some B&W sword and sandals films.

My, my, my, how far TV has come!

I still feel like this show is a GIGANTIC money laundering scheme for Bezos to hide his nuclear ballistic submarine purchase :p

That is an inexcusable shot given the budget. Who the fuck greenlit this shot, for the FIRST trailer no less!?!!? At least the most recent trailers look great but my god stuff like this hurts my brain. I could genuinely compose a better shot in my back yard during the winter.

Ok, I’ll bite. Winter is only a few months away. Please respond once you’ve completed and post your composed shot for view.
