Final Space, nothing beats it for me. I'll be empty and hollow until Olan releases the graphic novel they're letting him license to finish off the story from season 3 since it was cancelled with one of the time warner mergers.

I'm well aware revenue and profit arent 1:1. You're "source" is a "Google person says they break even" in 2015. I give you graphs showing revenue growing at almost 4x the rate of users since 2015.

Edit: as I'm not sure you'll look at the graphs. I want to point out that since 2015 the "what could they have done to turn a profit" question is answered in the graphs
