I watched this amazing documentary of the rise and fall of Channel Z on friday night. I wont claim to have known anything about it before before watching it, but it’s amazing how singular ego driven ideas can explode and become beloved and at the same time dismissed when the driving force is gone. This is a sad but true tale of someone who loved his job and at the same time was the only one really able to do it as well as he did, and towards the end when the money got tight – he’s dead.
Leaving behind a wake of crappy channels like HBO and Showtime to give us a pale imitation of what we could have had.
I got my version from Netflix, you might have heard of them.
BTW why are people buying whole seasons of mediocre television show’s and how much more of this crap do we need to see again?
