Top streaming show during the Writers’ Strike concealed by Hollywood.
Hollywood Writers’ Strike: The Surprising Streaming Success
Amidst the ongoing Hollywood writers’ strike and the refusal of actors to work, the entertainment industry is experiencing a dearth of new films and shows. However, the impact of this strike seems to be overshadowed by the unexpected dominance of a show that concluded four years ago on streaming platforms.
According to NPR, that show is “Suits,” a legal drama that aired for nine years on the USA Network.
Despite its initial reception, “Suits” has experienced a resurgence of interest this summer, captivating audiences and setting a new viewing record for an acquired title.
Nielsen reported that in July alone, “Suits” garnered a staggering 18 billion minutes of viewership on Peacock and Netflix. Furthermore, Nielsen highlighted the immense popularity of acquired titles, indicating a strong preference among audiences for older shows acquired by streaming platforms.
As the strike continues to impact the industry and delay new projects, it becomes evident that Hollywood writers are not being sorely missed. Audiences are content with the vast array of existing entertainment options available at their fingertips.
Moreover, many of these older movies and shows offer quality entertainment without pushing any controversial agendas.
This explains why viewers are happily turning to shows like “Suits” during the strike, rather than lamenting the absence of original content. Hollywood writers have failed to deliver anything of value in recent years.
Several new movies, touted as woke masterpieces, have proven to be box office flops, failing to capture the interest of audiences.
Admittedly, “Suits” features Meghan Markle, known for her controversial remarks and left-leaning views. However, even her presence cannot detract from the appeal of what NPR TV critic Eric Deggans describes as a “workplace drama with a killer cast.”
Perhaps Hollywood should take note of this phenomenon. The lack of longing for their recent content begs the question of why audiences have lost interest.
