Shonda Rhimes moves to Netflix

This is certainly interesting.

Shonda Rhimes, creator of “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Scandal,” is moving from her home of 15 years to create shows and other content exclusively for Netflix.

Her decision was a blow to ABC, owned by Walt Disney Co., because the network has relied heavily on shows from Rhimes and her production company to buoy its prime-time schedule for more than a decade. It also comes a week after Disney announced it was launching its own streaming service to better compete with Netflix.

Shonda Rhimes' move to Netflix from ABC could spark war for talent

I like everything of her’s that I’ve seen. I’m excited to see what she and Netflix come up with for new shows.

The only possible good thing here is that she can do more mature shows. No timid language/sex limits.

But her recent shows have been less and less interesting. I don’t see a sudden boost in quality.

ABC has profited immensely off her shows. Scandal has one year left. This is going to hurt them.
