The sorry state of streaming residuals shows why SAG and the WGA are striking.

      Doesn’t another distributor own the rights to Suits, and Netflix just pays for streaming rights? Shouldn’t the owners of the rights be paying the writers?

    I say stay on strike for as long as possible. It’s a benefit for all mankind. I’m finally catching up on a ton of stuff I was behind on. Also, why work for scraps if you’re not getting paid appropriately.

    This is even more insane than finding out the creator and showrunner for Squid Game made $100k for it.

      Does it get better? I made it to the second season and it started getting very formulaic. Client is sympathetic, fraud lawyer takes pity, he’s wrong, cynical lawyer saves the day, makes some sacrifice so you know he’s really a good guy. Introduce someone threatening to expose fraud lawyer now and then.

    And unions are still not seen as a good (let alonr important) thing by many americans…

    Proportional to the writers’ effort in the final few seasons, I suppose.

    In all seriousness, that’s pretty fucked up.

    In all fairness, based on the accuracy of how courts are portrayed in Suits, the writers spent a there from 10 to 15 minutes writing this. Pretty impressive pay.
