The global entertainment landscape is currently dominated by a group of "Major Studios"—often referred to as the Big Five—that control the vast majority of high-budget film and television output. As of 2026, these entities are defined not just by their production volume, but by their vast intellectual property (IP) portfolios and integrated streaming services. The "Big Five" Hollywood Majors
The entertainment landscape is currently shaped by a "Big Five" group of major studios— Warner Bros. —alongside rapidly expanding tech-driven giants like Amazon MGM Studios
In a secret meeting at a luxurious mansion in Beverly Hills, the CEOs of Warner Bros., Universal, and Sony – Ann Sarnoff, Jeff Shell, and Tom Rothman, respectively – hatched a plan to join forces. The goal was to create a super-studio with unparalleled resources, talent, and reach.
Conclusion
Wrong
No, you are not right.
I love how you say you are right in the title itself. Clearly nobody agrees with you. The episode was so great it was nominated for an Emmy. Nothing tops the chain mail curse episode? Really? Funny but not even close to the highlight of the series.
Dissent is dissent. I liked the chain mail curse. Also the last two episodes of the season were great.
Honestly i fully agree. That episode didn’t seem like the rest of the series, the humour was closer to other sitcoms (friends, how i met your mother) with its writing style and subplots. The show has irreverent and stupid humour, but doesn’t feel forced. Every ‘joke’ in the episode just appealed to the usual late night sitcom audience and was predictable (oh his toothpick is an effortless disguise, oh the teams money catches fire, oh he finds out the talking bass is worthless, etc). I didn’t have a laugh all episode save the “one human alcoholic drink please” thing which they stretched out. Didn’t feel like i was watching the same show at all and was glad when they didn’t return to this forced humour. Might also be because the funniest characters with best delivery (Nandor and Guillermo) weren’t in it
And yet…that is the episode that got the Emmy nomination! What am I missing? I felt like I was watching a bad improv show where everyone was laughing at their friends but I wasn’t in on the joke.
