It cannot be said more clearly. Eric Kripke, showrunner of “The Boys”, He hasn’t cut a hair when it comes to sharing what he thinks of those directors who present the series as if they were “10 hour movie”. This creator, who comes from work for general television, where the demands relating to the pace of each episode are even more rigid; points out that developing a television drama centered around a film makes no sense to himunderlining the tremendous roll that seems to him that in these cases many chapters are expected before something happens.
If we are guided by the success of his superhero proposition, which continues to bring joy to Amazon Prime Video, Kripke knows more than just what he is talking about, which is why his statements to Vulture about the possibilities offered by streaming are so interesting. This creative not only shares his disgust at the lack of proper serial structure shown by some proposals that look like films divided into parts, but also reveals what he considers most beneficial to working for a streaming platform.
“I love streaming, in fact I don’t think I’ll ever go back to mainstream television. It allows you to do two things: have most of the scripts written before filming and then finish all episodes before they begin airing. There are logistical advantages that it would be impossible for me to give up. For starters, you can tell everything coherently in a way that television simply doesn’t offer, where once a chapter is broadcast there is no going back and many times you want to make changes. It always happens: we’re in the middle of filming episode seven and we realize we need a different story, so we can still go back to episode one and add whatever we need. “.
“The downside to streaming is that a lot of directors who work with streaming don’t necessarily come from that routine that general TV gives you. They are more comfortable with the idea that they can give you ten hours of nothing happening until the eighth hour. This drives me crazy. As a professional coming from television, I always had to make sure I kept the viewer’s interest 22 fucking hours a year, I couldn’t afford to get close to things like, ‘Oh, suck it, don’t worry. According to critics, things reach a climax in episode 8 ‘. [Me vuelve loco] anyone who says, “Well, what I’m actually doing is a ten hour movie.” Cursed! Make a fucking TV series! You’re in show business! “.
