Happy New Year! As we wave 2023 out one door, 2024 is already blowing in the other. It's make-or-break time for many streaming services over the next 36 months, and there's no time like the present to get started. Ever since Downton Abbey colonized

The mid-2020s will be a time of realignment for streaming services after a decade of mass proliferation. Hulu is beta-testing as a tile under the Disney+ banner; Max has combined Discovery+ and HBO. But that's just the beginning of the Great Rebundling. Amazon will start offering

When Doc Martin was initially introduced in the Nigel Cole comedy Saving Grace in 2000, no one expected the character to still be going in the 2020s, let alone have his own show that had been on the air for nearly 20 years. But the decision to take actor Martin
HBO & HBO Max
Succession may be over, but HBO's political satire is not taking a break anytime soon. The latest series, The Regime (initially titled The Palace), is the brainchild of one of Succession's writers, Will Tracy, who also happens to be an alum of Last Week Tonight with

Decades are never as neat as we would like them to be. The 2020s will have a cleaner beginning for the history books than most, in that the pandemic coincided with the proper year; however, the year 2023 is the one in which a lot of series from the 2010s
