When my cable bill was $200, on top of internet, I realized I could buy a ton of content for that much money. We moved, cut the cord and haven’t looked back. It’s amazing how quickly ads affect my kids when we are at hotels or grandparents houses.

We may end up buying killing eve if there isn’t another option.

Breaking bad is over 10 years old. Mad men even older. Those shows seemed to be on for a while before they ignited in viewers minds - ratings popped at some point. Are new content providers as patient? Are there examples of streaming shows with similar ratings trajectories?
