    I didn’t get that from the article at all. What I read was that HBO has a dearth of programming because a lot of their content either ended or got canceled. And they’ve had to fill in the blanks with AMC programming.

      I was over indexing on the walking dead complaint, though find the whole thing overly dramatic. A couple of shows ended and there’s a writers strike. Their choosing to run a steaming service with a breadth of content isn’t evidence that HBO programming is on the decline, just that they are trying to run a business.

        They’d already been openly gutting their original shows since the merger. The only things they’re interested in making are “sure things” and cheap shit with high ROI. I’m sure we’ll get another half dozen game of thrones spinoffs as they beat the corpse and load it up with garbage.
