Shonda Rhimes Says She Was “Sort Of Waiting” To Be Called Out During Strike For Netflix Deal “That Started People Moving Into Streaming”

I consider myself to be a writer, first and foremost.

So I was a writer on strike.

You know, I dont live in LA.

So I wasnt on the picket lines every day.

And were trying to ensure that their futures are assured.

Streaming residuals were a big issue in both the writers and actors in the recent strikes.

I liked the challenge of that.

And she went, followed by Ryan Murphy and others.

It started a big sort of chain of people moving to streaming.

But I have not watched narrative programming in a while.

And I think its because I wanted to give my brain a break.

Theres some really great stuff out there and she doesnt want it to influence her projects or writing.

But I also have been watching a lot more documentary programming, sports programming.

I dont know why, but thats whats interesting to me right now.
