Throwing money away is a status symbol.

In 2023 the display of wealth is more wealth than wealth itself.

I burn tickets... because I can.

Splurge... because you don't.

It's rude but that's how it is.

Having a yacht that doesn't sail, a plane that doesn't fly, expensive shoes that you don't wear, houses that you don't visit, or series that cost a lot but apparently nobody cares about.

The fact that

Amazon

maintains some of its Prime Video productions can only be read as a clear message to the streaming market: for us

, the series is nothing more than an anecdote in an income statement that goes from something else

.

As I write this text, the very expensive (and very thick)

The Peripheral

has not been officially renewed for a second season, but let's not rule it out, because one of the next Prime Video releases is the second season of

Carnival Row

.

Almost three years after its first installment, the fantasy blockbuster with Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne returns almost by surprise.

Hunters has taken even longer between seasons.

We didn't have her either.

The Al Pacino series, created by David Weil, debuted in 2020. His proposal, despite being relatively original, was not widely accepted.

In

Hunters,

Pacino heads up a secret organization that hunts down Nazis in the decades after the end of Nazism.

The protagonist of Serpico

and

The Godfather

are accompanied by

stars like Lena Olin or Jennifer Jason Leigh, who will not raise the budget of the series as much as its luxurious production.

Hunters is many things and cheap is not one of them.

As a status symbol Amazon Prime Video works.

The message is very clear:

look at all the money we put into a product that seems to seduce no one

.

Thus,

Hunters

swells the list of mega-productions of the company for which the numbers do not come out independently but that within the gigantic balance sheet of Amazon probably go unnoticed.

Some we have forgotten, like

Woody Allen 's gruesome

Crisis in Six Scenes .

Others, although they have had an impact, it is impossible for them to be profitable as unitary products, such as Los anillos del poder.

Compared to the cost of Tolkien's license, the estimated $13 million per episode for

Crisis in six scenes

is crumbs.

They are also nothing compared to the figures handled by

Citadel

, the new project for the Russo brothers' platform.

And now is when I realize that I have forgotten that this text was focused on the second season of

Hunters

.

Of course, who cares about that?

To the unredeemed fans of the most over-the-top Al Pacino

, I suppose.

Or maybe it is that Jeff Bezos always admired Pacino and now, when he owns the world and can buy whatever he wants, he has chosen to have a movie icon with an Oscar, two Emmys and five Globes as a pet. Prayed.

Some buy performances by Beyoncé, others works by Leonardo and the most capricious, a series with Al Pacino.

Oh the rich.
