With Sharp Objects and Big Little Lies for example those were shows that I would have loved to own on Blu-Ray with detailed featurettes and commentaries going behind the scenes, but it seemed like the only extras on offer were the same very brief 1-2 minute featurettes on iTunes which feel more like trailers/promo to me, they hardly went very in-depth disappointingly. So I just brought them on iTunes to own the episodes basically, but there didn’t seem to be much point in getting the Blu-Rays as well
I think The Good Place does offer a commentary at least though, as well as a gag reel, but they are becoming much scarcer as more and more people turn to streaming instead. It seems like it’s more just films these days that still offer a lot of extras, but it’s no longer really the norm with tv shows unless the people involved themselves want to make a big effort with it?
Older shows like Supernatural do still go all out because I guess by now they’re just used to making sure there’s extra content available for the fans, but then a new show like Daredevil will offer zero extras, so tbh I still don’t entirely get why people even bother with buying the Blu-Ray. I was really excited to go behind the scenes with the stunts and everything else, but as it is, you may as well just stick to watching the show on Netflix, because it’s not like the physical media offers anything different :shrugs:
And yes that does sadly seem to be the case with Nikita and the CW, but then other shows have still very much taken off on that network and found their niche, so it’s still somewhat puzzling to me how little Nikita gets talked about. I guess maybe it’s partly a case of it being promoted badly?
