I think this is a bigger problem with Netflix in that they want an abundance of content at any cost which means good shows don't get the attention/viewership they need to be renewed, bad shows get greenlit, and as we see, some disasters happen. (HBO would never have allowed this financial debacle).

The director's only other credit was 47 Ronin. I remember this article from 10 years ago which described 47 Ronin as "one of the most troubled movie productions in recent memory,"

How do you have Keanu Charles Reeves and still manage fail…

Looks Keanu even invested in the Netflix project, even after all the 47 Ronin mayhem.

"Episodes ranging from four minutes to thirteen minutes", and the concept doesn't even sound that interesting. We're the execs art Netflix on the same kind of drugs as he was?

After reading this article, all I can observe is that SO MANY PEOPLE were not doing their due diligence. So much opportunity squandered by so many people! This is the kind of story that spawns "this is why we can't have nice things ..." conversations.

I'm going to need to read more about this. No director should have unfettered access to the funds for a production. Competent producers have an accountant running the money and reporting out regularly.
