    It’s one of those bets that are hard to predict whether they’ll pay off. Weird slow-paced dystopian series with a setting almost entirely confined to a dated office space.

    I absolutely love the show, but from an executive viewpoint, it is hardly a sure bet. I’m glad it worked out!

    I don’t understand how this math works. The service has subscribers, there are no ads. How does a single show turn its own profit?

    Parrot came to these figures via its Content Valuation methodology, which uses a formula to correlate audience demand with subscribers and therefore revenue.

    ‘Audience demand’ and subscribers equals a specific revenue for a specific show? Still don’t get it.
