Fleabag and Marvelous Mrs Maisel didn't seem very safe to me at all

Or The Expanse or Invincible or The Boys. I think there are plenty of examples of good content.

Amazon didn't produce Fleabag, they just have international rights.

I was surprised to learn that it was actually co-production between the BBC and Amazon

Often all this means is that they put $ in and trusted the BBC to oversee.

If we're splitting hairs, BBC didn't produce it either.

I really liked Fleabag. Maisel seemed too pretentious, watched only 2 or 3 episodes. Maybe should try again.

> Maisel seemed too pretentious

Opinion that you didn't ask for: I felt that it was both a good show and a terrible one at the same time and decided to stop watching it. It felt like it was 40% "haha these mega-rich Jews are mega-rich, Jews, and also out of touch", 40% "Gilmore Girls in New York", 19% "romantic nostalgia for Lenny Bruce and a young Joan Rivers", and 1%...I don't know...maybe "they showed boobs on screen that one time".
