With Hollywood’s historic double strike shining a light on who benefits when a show becomes a streaming hit, the surprise resurgence of “Suits” presents a unique case study for a residuals model that actors and writers say is broken.
After its run on USA Network from 2011 to 2019, the legal drama set a new weekly record as the most-viewed acquired streaming title during the last week of June. The drama series starring Patrick J. Adams and Gabriel Macht logged 3 billion minutes from June 26 to July 2, then shattered its own record, gathering 3.7 billion viewing minutes in a single week. Overall, it garnered over 12.8 billion minutes of viewing across Netflix and Peacock from June 19 to July 16.
How much did the streamers make off that runaway success? It’s hard to say. When a syndicated show runs on broadcast or cable, it runs with ads, providing a clear revenue stream linked to viewership.

FlashForward is getting awesome, right? This week's episode of FlashForward, 137 Sekunden, will continue to peel back layers by introducing a captured Nazi who knows something about the 'event' that caused the FlashForward. I have a definite soft spot for Nazis in my SciFi, maybe I've played too much Castle Wolfenstein, who knows. Also, this week is the debut of Gabrielle Union as Demetri's fiance. After last week's affirmation that the worst case scenario of his lacking of a FlashForward is chillingly possible we can't wait to see what she has to say. Here are four clips from FlashForward, "137 Sekunden," which airs this Thursday at 8:00pm est on ABC.
