On paper it’s a real beauty.
This lineup COULD ease up things at HBO..

Totally.. assuming Westworld is a big hit (True Blood sized) and the other shows are moderately successful (let’s say.. get season 2’s and at least one is as big as “Girls”).

Still think they need a THIRD drama other than GoT and WW. Something like Vinyl but better :)

If only Vinyl was the second coming of Mad Men…

Maybe David Simon ‘s The Deuce will be the other big drama.

Could be! It has the clout and staff to get there.

David Simon nailed each of his shows imo, so I’m optimistic.
Westworld needs to generate enough buzz that TheDeuce can survive like Treme did..

Divorce’s bottom is the one of Ballers: Star brings specific audience, the name itself brings enough prestige.

I’d love Insecure to be that smart mix of character development & situational comedy. That new wave of indie dramedy is great.
