The series Murphy has brought to Netflix have ranged from the mediocre to the borderline unwatchable.
Murphy was given a reported $300m, five-year “overall deal”, where Netflix would take whatever he decided to bring them.
In football terms, Murphy was a big money signing, a telly galactico, proof if it were needed that the streamer was serious about its plans for world domination.
The price was fitting for the reputation of a man routinely described as one of the most powerful people in Hollywood.
