I think with 'Skinwalkers,' the success of it spoke for itself. Meaning a lot of people wanted to see something new on television.
You have to edit it, mix it, color grade it, there are processes and the audience doesn't care when they binge-watch a show. They think in four weeks you should get the next season.
I don't really know much about TV and what people want to see. I'm not that well-informed about it.
There are no crowds out there demanding to see smoking scenes in movies.
If reality shows are so popular, that means their viewers are screaming for more realness.
The fantasy genre is so in at the moment. Viewers want to escape from their lives and watch something that is so separate from their everyday existence. People have always wanted to escape their lives - that's why they go to movies and the theatre.
The simple fact is that not enough people want to watch my program, and I owe it to myself and to CNN to get out of the way so that CNN can try something else.
There's not a lot of really great, deep, serialized television, and we can see from the data that that's what people want.
I don't know how to do the other, so I won't even consider television until the audience's taste changes.
It is exciting to see the different genres that audiences want to watch. The response to a show like 'Mirzapur' last year and to Delhi Crime earlier this year was so encouraging and a proof that good content is the new formula.
