The premiere episode was the biggest audience AMC got for a premiere since last year\u2019s <em>The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live<\/em>.

Why does this hefty production that\u2019s clearly resonating with viewers feel as if it\u2019s nothing at all in the pop culture landscape?<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong><em>Nautilus<\/em><\/strong><strong> Gets Dunked By Disney<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Nautilus<\/em> was originally supposed to show up on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/disney\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Disney;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Disney<\/a>+. The House of Mouse produced the show but pulled out of directly distributing it on their platform after production had wrapped. Instead, they sold it to different entities depending on the location of distribution. For example, the United Kingdom got the show on Prime Video eight months before it premiered in the United States on AMC and their streaming service, AMC+.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">What was intended to be a potential flagship series for Disney+ ended up getting sold off to the highest bidder. But, that doesn\u2019t seem to have slowed interest in the show for potential audiences. The show has done well on streaming and even topped AMC+ barely a week ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So, we return to my initial question: why does it feel like no one actually did watch <em>Nautilus<\/em>?<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>The Streaming Barrier<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/6Y09VfLleJaiLCILFlWbwQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/768c7450412d3b93994dd1d43526d0d7\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With streaming services becoming omnipresent in our consumer culture, the barrier for shows to become true breakouts is much thicker than in the past. The amount of television shows being produced and pushed by their respective studios is utterly maddening. There\u2019s so much noise when you step back and look at the big picture. Not to mention that brand loyalty becomes an issue. If you get Netflix or HBO <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/max\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Max;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Max<\/a> or Paramount+ (blech) and enjoy it, there isn\u2019t a huge incentive to pay for another streaming service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So, why would you go out of your way to watch a show like <em>Nautlius<\/em>? Even if it gains decent word-of-mouth praise, are you really going to sign up for AMC+ just to watch that one show? I know there is a churn culture with streaming where folks sign up for a service and immediately cancel it in order to get a single month of access. Maybe folks are doing that? I would love to hear such testimonials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Even so, a show like <em>Nautilus<\/em> doing well on streaming but showing no real ripple effect in the larger pop culture discussion tells me that the streaming barrier continues to be a harder hurdle to clear for interesting shows. If a show like <em>Nautilus<\/em> has an audience, it doesn\u2019t translate to the \u201cwater cooler\u201d culture of entertainment discussion. It might be liked but it certainly doesn\u2019t feel like anyone is talking about it. Hopefully, even this piece will get someone to check the show out. In an age of endless content, curation is more important than ever. Let\u2019s hope shows like <em>Nautilus<\/em> have loving curators to make sure they don\u2019t fully disappear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nautilus is the kind of show that fascinates me.
