What it takes to have a hit
Have you ever wondered why some series become hugely successful while others don’t? What is their secret? Here are a few ideas:
1. The series has to come out / in / off at the right time, for example when a book it is based on is still very popular.
2. It should be released/streamed/played on a widely-available platform so that many people have access to it.
3. It should contain a(n) element/span/part of surprise. When shows are too predictable, their popularity soon wears out/off/away. And, of course, every episode needs to end with a cliffhanger.
4. Having big names in the cast/audience/venue is not that important – it is enough if the actors are able to create characters that feel real.
5. Great charts/contracts/reviews don’t really matter that much either – usually people start watching a series when a friend recommends it.
