of Cards cost Netflix $100 million for two seasons but Amazon’s deal is
truly mind boggling.
The new show will premiere at some point in 2016, it will be produced
by Andy Wilman and it will be even more outrageous than anything they
ever did on Top Gear. [FULL] (Tip to Tommy Lee Smith)
It was my early understanding that the deal was with NetFlix;
Amazon is not good news. More and more I've found that any series
streamed by Amazon will cost you $$ after the first season, even
if
you're a Prime subscriber, whereas NetFlix productions are always top
notch and free. That aside, there was no bigger fan of Top Gear
than me. I watched the entire series on NetFlix about five
times.
When BBC withdrew the original two or three years, which were for me
the best, I lost heart. After 100+ episodes the lads had become a
parody of themselves, and I doubt this newest rendition will catch my
fancy. We'll see, but I shan't spend a farthing on any of it. |
