Downton Abbey meets Deadwood, set in Russia, with decent if not macabre
jokes and senseless acts of violence... characters and storylines are very
cheesy daytime soap opera caliber. For Hulu, it is ambitious.

I agree that the most important thing is how they deal with errors. I
disagree That Farrow does this better than most. Indeed I think he deals
with it worse than most at main stream news outlets. He has failed to even
admit several of his mistakes, much less retract and correct them.

I worked in captioning back in the Analog Era, and I know things are different
here
Farrow’s biggest gaffe as a journalist was his very personal attack on
Woody Allen. I’m not arguing the validity of his claims, but no real
reporter can maintain objectivity in such a case. He would’ve been better
served offering himself as a source for a different journalist.

We haven't lost a soap in years. But they all play in primetime, or early
primetime anyway, so audiences remain decent-ish.
As it happens, Eastenders is supposed to be rebuilding their set, and one
of the things they were going to do was increase the scale everywhere.
Viewers wouldn't notice, but
Ken Osmond, no kin to the Utah family... griped openly about being typecast
after his "Beaver" days, so he joined the LAPD and grew a mustache to be
less recognizable... led a class-action suit against the actors' union in
the 2000s over foreign residuals... and was offended when people mistaken
I heard that they were restarting production on Eastenders with these new
guidelines in place, which prompted three thoughts:
1) Eastenders is still a thing? JEZUS.
2) Is the Queen Vic (?) set large enough to do proper social distancing?
3) Eastenders without kissing or fighting? What's the point?

With Weinstein, Farrow was a David who slew Goliath. Since then the quality of
his villains has declined. At least twice I saw him having to explain why his
target's actions were bad. He ran out of obvious targets. It reminds me of
Siskel and Ebert saying the quality of Bond films was determined
Farrow lost any credibility for me when he went after his alleged father
and ignored any evidence that cleared him in favor of concentrating on
rumor, innuendo, and the poison his mother had injected into many of her
children's minds.
