These roundtables are so underrated. They’re literally hidden gold in the internet.

[DendyJungle]

is it weird that they all look like their networks?

[neeby]

These roundtables are better than college.

My only request is that these be longer. I think the audience that is looking for this content will sit and watch another hour and the participants clearly always have more to share. Two hours would be ideal, I think. There seems to be a lot left unsaid and two hours would still leave you wanting more but walking away, as a viewer, feeling like the discussion was "complete." Netflix's exec was really starting to share at the end and he was kind of cut off and it seemed like he was just starting to reveal more info that we'd all like to know. Just a suggestion/thought.

i feel like all of the guests have killed at least one person

I could have watched an hour just between the HBO and Netflix guys.

These executive roundtables are always effectively dick swinging contests, and this is no different. They all pretend to like and respect each other, but it's always dripping with subtext and veiled rivalry. They are all alphas at their own companies to get to the position they are in, and when you have that many alphas at one table, you can conclude that there's going to be a huge amounts of rivalry amongst them, but they dress the rivalry up in platitudes and cliches about there 'being room for everyone in the market' etc. Makes for fascinating viewing.

HBO guy is very smart. That comment have HOC being on canal plus is very relevant

[suramyasingh]

A+E and AMC executives' voices are super soothing

[canttouchdylan]

I wish there had been annotations that explained some of the jargon they were using, as I wasn't always able to follow. They do this with most (if not all) of the other roundtables. Regardless, it was fascinating and I love feeling like we're able to go behind the scenes.

I feel there was a small ego clash between Ted Sarandos (Netflix) and Richard Plepler (HBO)

This is great, the best roundtable of all...

I like the Netflix guy... a feel like this round table's personalities reflect the brands very well ;) any thoughts?

[entertainmentprofessional]

I thoroughly love watching these round tables. I hope you continue with them and do more and more. They are so informative and fascinating to watch. Thank you for creating these!

[aleca]

didnt understand most of the terms they used and some of what they talked about but the whole thing felt so engaging its hard not to listen. I love these interviews

[hbergfeld]

Will there be more round tables? I hope there is a directing one

[a]

this was very interesting to watch, I really enjoyed this

[gabrielpinvid]

Best roundtable yet! But the male moderator is so bad... I've enjoyed the elevated conversations since the female moderator over this year... Can we just keep it that way? Thank you for continuously bringing interesting conversations and not just shallow ones anymore!
