It’s one of those bets that are hard to predict whether they’ll pay off. Weird slow-paced dystopian series with a setting almost entirely confined to a dated office space.

I absolutely love the show, but from an executive viewpoint, it is hardly a sure bet. I’m glad it worked out!

If an executive with decision making power boils severance down to that they should be fired on the spot

I would be willing to bet this is actually more complicated than the decision making of most TV executives judging by history.
