This is so cool! I love that these shows are getting popular and reaching a broader audience! These days, people are turing towards their MacBooks and iPads to watch television shows rather than their own TV's. We can see from the high ratings of Netflix shows as well as the Amazon shows that more and more people are using the internet to get their television entertainment. I believe that this is the new frontier for TV shows. Producers are able to reach a broader audience by putting their shows on internet sites such as Netflix and Amazon so that more people around the world can watch what they have created whenever and whereever they want. I know i love my Netflix account and so do many people around the world.
Until November of last year I didn't even know that Amazon was producing television series! I came upon Mozart in the Jungle by accident, because I had been looking for movies with Bernadette Peters in them. I was very pleasantly surprised by what I saw -- both by the premise and the acting, as well as by Amazon. To me, Amazon is just like Netflix. They are both 'young adult' sorts of television producing series, looking for fresh and new ideas to introduce to young men and women who spend more time on their laptops and mobile devices than they do their televisions. A college student myself, I often heavily prefer watching my television on my laptop, if only because I actually don't have (and will probably not have for the rest of my four years at university) a television of my own! I'm very excited for the next season of Mozart, as well as all the new television series Amazon will be producing. I can't wait to try to watch them all!
Until now, I was not very aware of the recently increasing influx of films and shows generated solely for online websites, rather than wide TV broadcasts and films screenings. I remember hearing talk of "The Interview," and various controversies involving it's dissemination to the mass public. However, this article, regarding various shows produced by Amazon, solely for computers, iPad, and other electronic devices to access, baffles me! What an amazing way to reach audiences around the world, with topics many may not have seen in the first place, if required to go out to a movie theatre and pay to watch a production. Eclectic types of art, once again, permeate the masses... and this time, it looks like the cycle is here to stay!

This is so incredible that with the introduction of streamable entertainment comes a myriad of new opportunities for people in this profession. It is very promising knowing that as an actor, our industry is still expanding in so many different directions, including online. Very exciting. <54102> 54102
