The First 'Robin Hood' Teaser For the Latest Adaptation Feels Surprisingly Modern

Knowing you're going to have to live through something is one thing; actually keeping your temper in check when you're experiencing it is quite another. Even before Peak TV finally started to ebb, it was clear that the multiple streaming services currently in existence would not last long once the industry began to collapse back in on itself and the great rebundling started. The AMC Networks set of niche streamers, along with fellow struggling services Starz, Viaplay, and MHz Choice, would all eventually be absorbed by those who emerged on top.

However, it is hard not to get annoyed when a streaming service that has no business continuing, like MGM+, keeps hoarding good programming such as Rogue Heroes, Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, and now Robin Hood, instead of just making them available on the parent company's Amazon Prime Video service where there's an actual chance someone might actually watch them.

It's relatively obvious why Amazon continues with the farcical notion that the streaming service it accidentally acquired during its twice-paid-for quest for Jeff Bezos to own James Bond might one day be a success: it's where the inevitable James Bond TV series will one day premiere. Perhaps when that fails to find any sort of audience, because no one outside the industry knows MGM+ exists, we can finally stop pretending it's a going concern.
