Resident Evil (ignore this one)
Maybe the millennial consumer who doesn't want to get off their couch and go to the movies but will binge TV at home is to blame.

Vancouver is the low budget filming location.
Oh and FYI in my research for this thread I found out there actually is a Mass Effect TV show in the planning stages with Amazon Studios. So enjoy!

Millennial here: unironically, Cineplex was filled with other millennials all three times I watched Way of Water, so I don't think it's that... more like studio execs spending all the time and resources on "real" movies. And streaming services have been really great for animation, which is really great for episode-based stories.
Apparently they've also done shoots in Memphis, Salt Lake, Atlanta, NC and Connecticut, which is somewhat less hypocritical for a channel that's always preaching small town American values despite being headquartered in LA and filming in Canada.
Eh, seeing as the Mass Effect movie was announced back in 2010 and never went anywhere, I'll wait for the trailer before I get excited.

Facts - watching everybody else watch the outbreak, the magazine and the giraffe was an absolute joy.
