Far, far too niche of a platform.  
I’m surprised that Josh hasn’t been able to get a production on a more mainstream streaming service considering the global success of Please Like Me.

Can’t say I’m surprised. I couldn’t get into season 2. The pandemic ruined the story a bit I think. I’m not sure what episode I got up to, but they were all set in lockdown/the house.

I couldn’t get into Season 1 tbh though pushed through it, haven’t done Season 2 but will probably push through it as well to see it out and because I like Josh Thomas and LOVED Please Like Me… but definitely no where near as good as I thought it would be.

No I like Josh a lot too, but “Everythings Gonna be OKay” is no “Please Like me”. Hopefully Josh can come up with another project here at home soon.

Given ratings for Season 1, I’m surprised they made Season 2. I hope with Season 2 it doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, though I’m assuming not.

That will ensure a continued back catalogue from Warner for stan which is good.

Seems a non exclusive deal with some of those titles also appearing elsewhere.

Wow Big Bang is now gonna be on all streaming platforms, whoever owns the rights to that show must be making a lot in licensing fees from Australia.

Also in the US is WarnerMedia part of HBO Max?

WarnerMedia is the parent company of WarnerMedia Direct which owns HBO Max, and ultimately owns the rights to The Big Bang Theory through the Warner Bros Television subsidiary.
