Television

How long can this go before studios just pay writers well? Seems very boneheaded, but I'm glad the strike has had a powerful effect.

Details of the agreement between the union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) include gains in wages and benefits, streaming residuals, AI protections and more. (Full details are below.) Union leaders will need to lay out what they perceive to be the gains and compromises in the contract to members in the coming days before members ultimately participate in a ratification vote. There is no date yet for the ratification vote; the tentative agreement will be submitted to the DGA’s National Board at a special meeting set for Tuesday.

What are you currently watching and what do you recommend?

97.85% voted in favor, with 78.79% participation. If a deal isn't reached in the next week, television will look very different in the fall.

It's pretty cool

觉醒年代 Age of Awakening (2021) is a Chinese drama that recounts the stories of the first Chinese Communist revolutionaries from 1915 to 1921. It has a rating of 9.3 (out of 10) on Douban but is almost unheard of in the West. It's shame that with such a high production quality, CCTV will probably not publish English subtitles. That's why I'm giving a translating this show a shot.
