Data analysis provides insights into audience preferences that can help create successful TV shows and make good business decisions. For example, Game of Thrones analyzed audience demand for fantasy genres as well as reactions to sample episodes. Both Amazon and Netflix released sample episodes to collect data on viewer behaviors like pausing and rewatching. Netflix was more successful because in addition to data analysis, it allowed intuition and risk-taking in decision making. While data provides insights, human judgment is still needed to solve problems and make effective choices.
