I want the next season of The White Lotus to be about a bunch of cheapskates who got a great deal because of all the tragedies and scandals that happened at other White Lotuses.

The majority of “high agency” people historically had inherited power and wealth, and how smart they were was a random throw of the dice.

Not to go all socialist on you, but in Ireland, if you’re diagnosed with diabetes, you qualify for the Long-Term Illness scheme and your insulin is FREE, along with any other medicines associated with your condition.

Colson Whitehead has a great gift for chapter openings / scene-setting. There's so much personality in his prose. (Below are examples from Crook Manifesto)

Hacks is, IMHO, the best show on TV at the moment. Wise, funny, emotional, and biting.

A really obvious idea would be to continue the Bond films as usual, and to save the TV series treatment for spinoffs (Felix, Moneypenny etc). But they'll probably stop the films and replace them with a long arc TV series that'll cost a billion dollars and be cancelled on a cliffhanger.
