Not pinning this thread as it’s probably nicer to focus on the best shows than the worst, but curious to see what everybody’s biggest disappointments where

Matt Damon gave an interview and made this point. Back when he started producing in the 1990s the DVD release gave a movie a second life. That gave the creators a little leeway to play around. Now a movie is tie to a big opening weekend, so the makers have to stick closer to the formula.
Good point, would you have a link to the interview?

That’s a good point I haven’t seen pointed out elsewhere. I suspect this really solidified the trend of playing it safe.
That doesn’t make sense anymore. Streaming is the post-theater “second life” for movies now.
It’s a different revenue stream. “Highlander” wasn’t a box office success, but it got a second life thanks to VHS/DVD sales.
