OTT shows are now drawing as much attention as big-screen films, thanks to their gripping stories and strong performances. Many viewers believe some series are now on par with cinema in terms of production value.
Audiences on social media have praised high-profile titles such as Alien Earth and Chief of War. These shows, streaming on JioHotstar and Apple TV+ respectively, have been receiving excellent responses from viewers.
With their grand production values, both shows are being hailed as cinematic masterpieces. The visuals, scale, and detailing seem no less than what audiences expect from films.
One user even shared that he would love to watch OTT shows in theatres, saying the experience would be better given their top-quality production. This highlights how much expectations have grown in the streaming space.
As OTT shows continue to match cinema levels, the big question remains whether platforms or creators will take the leap of releasing such shows in theatres. Only time will reveal if this becomes the next trend.
