Leftovers broke a large HBO rule that the channel had been following for decades after its release. Damon Lindelof's favorite TV series was the first project developed outside HBO -owned studies. Back in 2013, The Hollywood reporter highlighted the "remains" as part of mass pressure For new HBO shows. The Lindelof show will stand along with "Game of Thrones" and "Real Blood" on the net. It is amazing to think about how much this move has changed the "Prestige TV" landscape.

Before that moment in 2013, HBO wanted to keep the production of these series in the house. Warner Bros. Television would deal with many duties. But to attract large fish, sometimes you have to loosen the rules. Leftovers had a list of manufacturers at the time. Names like Peter Berg, Tom Perota and Sarah Aubrey were hot articles. If this is What was needed to secure Lindelof (and his show on the nonwis) after "lost""You are probably just making that decision and worry about the consequences later.

This deal has been developing for a long time. Perota was on the "debris" when they collected HBO in 2011. Hence, Lindelof caught the wind from the book and immediately had HBO's eyes. The director's existing pedigree led to a fast alliance, and things were excluded in the races. In this case, the "remains" will continue to be critically appreciated by the audience at home and are still complimented by TV critics who write about the extremely different, landscape focused on the streaming we have today!

HBO is There is no stranger to high concept TV shows It usually looks like they cost a lot of money to make money. "Leftovers" is an example of a Golden Starwar on both tropes. In the show, "sudden departure" walks 140 million people without a trace. After three years, people in a small town in Newouble are trying to cope with the new normal. But just like in our real world, it is difficult to bridge the gap between the world before all those people and the one in which the characters are in the moment disappears. (There is a cult called a remnant of wines that springs around some of the people left behind and everything!) "The remains “the end remains very emotionally satisfying.

Tom Perota wrote the novel "Leftovers" in 2011, but even today, the theme and situations can be a lot of thinking. All the best HBO "era of prestige" raises questions about our place in the universe, which we leave and what we owe to each other. Those quests are valuable, but may hardly sell for CEO of TV. In essence, the 20th -century studio association to make a show "Leftovers" increased the chance of success for all network plays.

Let me explain. A 20 -century study that deals with that part of production means that Warner Bros. does not have to waste that energy or money. They just have to share the profits when it is going well. You can afford a rare accident or maintain a play about not being the biggest thing on television when you spread wealth around. This will continue to be a more common move for HBO and other TV clothes over the previous decade. Why put all those eggs in a basket when you don't have to?

That is a lesson that all followers seems to be again taught. Take a look at shows like "Abbey Basic" that share their success between Warner Bros. TV and ABC Studio? When it does well, everyone gets their pie. The HBO kind started with a high-concept show outside their gates on "Leftovers" and everyone was better for it. Viewers can now enjoy the same opportunity given to some smaller projects in the coming years. It's all crucial to help maintain a healthy balance on TV screens everywhere.
