Of the streaming services we subscribe to continuously, one or another or both of us are typically always watching something. There are some we only subscribe to for a month when we want to watch a particular thing. I'd actually argue that one of the problems streaming has is how it green-lights too many shows and then doesn't renew enough of them for subsequent seasons. This is the Netflix model, and it has resulted in too many quality shows being cancelled after a season or two. Then they get popular too late and no one is happy. I think the traditional media companies are starting to learn this lesson when it comes to streaming. Make just enough good shows to keep people around every month and don't overspend on things that aren't likely to be successful. Also, not everything needs to be a big-budget CGI spectacular. What matters is the fundamental story, the writing, and the directing. Look at what an expensive disaster The Acolyte was for Disney. The effects were spectacular, but the rest was mediocre at best. I don't blame the actors. They weren't given anything good to work with other than the sets and props. Tell good stories and people will want to watch.
