Amazon Prime originals have low-key been a monster platform in the must see TV space. But. How many potential forever series have they produced? Is it time for a Duck Wolf or David E Kelly pretty please lend us your Midas touch meeting?

 

 

NOW CONNECTING: AMAZON PRIME(ONLINE)

 

REASON: 

It's a reoccurring exploration here, and among creative reviewers when tackling the task of qualifying reboots, or well seasoned TV franchises that have cemented themselves into being legendary works that will transcend generations. That is to watch and observe the plot line or writing level struggle to be as enticing as time goes on. Especially if the shows themselves have a continuous theme to them. This often occurs when the plots are centered around the same opposing characters for seasons on end. It is much easier when the main characters remain, and the oppositions remain revolving. This evident on most Dick Wolf produced shows. Why a Law And Order can last for decades without the writing level seeming to be exhausted or reached it's peak. 

 

Since its inception, Amazon original series have created some monsters in the fight to produce legendary cultural stables. We've had the pleasure to see them in examples like Suits, Bosch, which now has a spin-off of the original series, with some of the main characters, including Bosch himself. But. Amazon has had giants like Sneaky Pete seen its storyline get painted into a corner only after a few good seasons. Jack Ryan which could've kept going, only reached four classic seasons before being pulled. So? Where is the Simpsons for Prime originals? Is it in Billions? Can it be the Dynasty of the platform's attempt to be a all gold everything produced with long term goals in mind? It's possible to keep the concept going, and keep rotating the cast, as they attempted in season 6.

 

However.

Season 6 will keep you watching, but. You're going to have a look on your face, as you would when food item manufacturers attempt to change the ingredients of a classic, and still stick the original label on the boxes. Naw naw. Quit playing. Trying to piss on our heads and call it rain, is not going to work. Almost said Trix are for kids after that piss on our heads part, but Robert Kelly done ruined the joke for every writer in our bag. Speaking of bag. After season 5 when one of the main character had get it and go like a fast food restaurant during the pandemic. You'll know somehow that if not at some point during season 6, season 7 must see the return of the character, if the series stands any chance of going beyond being called a burnout like Monica Lewinsky's knees after Hillary established, she won't be the one to play Joe Budden in the middle of Time Square!

 

At the time of writing this, Season 7 is officially 3 episodes in, and if the season abruptly ended there, after watching all the rest. You'd smack the life out of the writers that's somewhere struggling through the strike of 2023. They established the characters of the season as being at their wits end. The returning character lines reflect the theme of the journey of the rest of the characters, not certain if they're even worthy of going on a mission to get their mojo back. It's as if season 6 literally sucked the air out of the Jordans. Although good enough to keep you watching. The missing swagger of its original ingredient, threw the show's universe off it's axis like Donald Trump when he went from being career goals to taking up a poor man's position like Bloomberg when he became mayor of NYC for only one dollar. No one would miss Bill Gates as a billionaire. But. When you're the face of wealth, and women let you say hello to their kitty just with your fingers, and men wanna be you in classic rap lyrics. You being irreplaceable even by iconic perception. Will change the future of the flow for the worse like Kanye when he gave Jewish people props for being up and running the world like minerals only found in Africa.
