#someone who was really excited about an iron lung film adaptation :/

[eggmacguffin]

it does really suck to see years of someone's creative work be sacrificed in the name of a market test.

And everyone else who worked on edge of sleep, and everyone else who worked on Iron Lung.

because that's all this is! Market testing.

they're testing to see what money is potentially available in pre-existing fanbases.

if you flip through the amazon prime front page, you don't see any mention of the show in any of the "recommended" categories. If you search it, you have to type the entire name to see it.

Based on this information, I believe the show is most likely blocked from the main page categories. The people in charge clearly have faith that it WON'T hit the top 10, because Edge of Sleep hitting top 10 will completely skew the data in the the market test being performed.

It's scummy, it is art-and-lives-and-work in exchange for money, and I wish they'd picked a worse person and worse project to do this to.
