The image depicts a cartoon-style illustration of a person reading a book. The person has brown hair and is smiling, with their eyes closed, suggesting they are enjoying the content of the book. The book is large and red with white pages, held open in front of the person. The background is a simple gradient of light yellow and white, providing a soft and neutral backdrop that does not distract from the main subject. The person is wearing a green garment, which is partially visible. The overall style is simple and colorful, with bold outlines and flat areas of color, typical of cartoon illustrations.

in reply to Techmeme • • •This is sad. When the streaming services first came out, they provided access to so many quality TV shows and movies. I thought it was pretty cool when they started producing content of their own.
The quality of these offerings has devolved. I have not watched the films mentioned in the article. I checked them out, but they looked like crap.
