The Studio on Apple is pretty good.

It's in part a homage to an amazing movie called The Player (92?)  with Tim Robbins.  The show is even shot in Robert Altman style but lacks the dark black comedy undertone.  The CEO of the studio's name is even Griffin Mill, but it's not the same Griffin Mill.

Other than that Rogen and Company did a good job of reading the room in regards to the public sentiment towards Hollywood. The show is basically satirical criticism of the movie biz. They make fun of the absurd propensity to go overboard with wokeness, the cynical drive to profits and how it's hard to make great movies instead of profitable ones; Rogen's character kills a Scorsese project about Jonestown in favor of a Barbie-esque movie about Kool-Aid.

In the latest episode the characters are freaking out over what ethnicity the Kool-Aid Man should be. In the midst of it they glaze over a decision to use AI generated art instead of actual artists showing that they have lost all sight of the bigger picture.
