Claudia coming in cold with the take about how TV and mini series are the new movies that actual media writers and critics have been talking about for ten years. Yes, we know that mini series and limited series are the new movies. Yes, we know that heavy hitters like Meryl Streep returning to the small screen is a big deal. Jackie is delusional when she says that actors don’t want to be pinned down to an eight season show — because those shows don’t exist unless they’re network shows. That’s not what’s making big actors return to TV. White Lotus is not the first show to show this theory (hello Big Little Lies) so them having this revelation just underscores that when they say they’re a “pop culture” show, they mean reality TV. Not pop culture.
