    It’s one of those bets that are hard to predict whether they’ll pay off. Weird slow-paced dystopian series with a setting almost entirely confined to a dated office space.

    I absolutely love the show, but from an executive viewpoint, it is hardly a sure bet. I’m glad it worked out!

        I would be willing to bet this is actually more complicated than the decision making of most TV executives judging by history.

        You have no idea dude. I work in the industry and executives are making the worst decisions you can imagine based on their own narrow, moronic view of culture. It’s enough to make you want to quit the career entirely sometimes.
