Nah, it seemed way too genuine to be some sort of tax scheme, and the issue of how to address the shrinking number of cable subscribers while also taking advantage of the ubiquity of smartphones and 4G+ connections seems like a natural business venture.

Quibi is like something parents do when they want their kids to think they're cool. In this case the parents had 2 billion dollars.

It sucked outside of a few topical jokes that anyone could have written.

I loved the original and rewatch it on a frequent basis. The new series lacks a lot of the improvisation and ad-libbing, and feels like it was written by fans. On a pettier note it's depressing to look at, as most of the cast is older and out of shape, especially Jones.

If you want to watch a show with similar energy, try the first 7 seasons of Trailer Park Boys on Netflix. It's probably one of the biggest examples of looks being deceiving in TV.

Quibi sounded like a good idea for a very niche set of people:
  • People who take public transit and have nothing else to do while waiting for the train or their next stop in the train.
  • People on line waiting for something and have nothing else to do.
Outside of those scenarios, it's pretty useless.

Apparently it might have been used to skirt labor regulations by releasing movies episodically

Ah man that's really depressing to hear. I thought their age and jonesies fatness etc would be rich material for them

Yeah I like tpb alot too. Rewatch both shows fairly frequently
