1. Reason for the better performance

Is that piled all the losses into the previous quarter and directly around Chapek's neck.

The thing that should really worry them, after all the spending on Disney Plus, that US subscribers only went up 200K (they lost total subscribers but that was because of a one time thing).

They definitely need to spend smarter to bring more people to Disney Plus. I feel their shows have steadily declined in quality from the start (just my opinion). I was very disappointed in Boba Fett, Kenobi and She-Hulk. Never made it through Ms. Marvel or Andor.

My daughter and I are watching Battlestar Gallactica (first time for her). I am amazed at how much better the writing is on that show than what we are seeing with Disney Plus. Granted after about 1 1/2 seasons things are starting to go a bit downhill (too much repetitive we are awesome and the Pegasus leadership are fools). Still BG was able to sustain excellence through what would be the equivalent of 3-4 Disney Plus series over just one season.
