Sure, Dwayne Johnson’s Ballers doesn’t fit the bill either, but an episodic series starring one of the most famous faces on the planet being added to a platform with upwards of 200 million subscribers was always going to be a winner, while the seminal duo of Band of Brothers and The Pacific also enjoyed the benefits of finding a brand new audience when they were added to the library.
