DC is making a huge mistake, IMO. They became popular (and other cable networks like them that were stuck in bland mediocrity) by entertaining their niche.
Look at what AMC did. They used to be a bland classic movie channel that nobody watched. So they abbreviated their name, and started producing some kick-ass shows. Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead are easily the two greatest shows ever produced.
Who wants to sit around and watch a narrator drone on about the lifespan of a gorilla? I want to see those same gorillas in steel-cage matches battling lions! F YEAH!
Why not have the lions fights the gorillas in an open-air arena? Or, for more sport, we could have men fight them, hand-to-hand? Or, we could toss in people we don’t like to be eaten by the animals — particularly those who refuse to believe things they should, like settled science or how homosexuality should be celebrated or how Jesus was just a good person.
Less an extremist, than a predictable swallower of click-bait.
