Not an awful lot is known about Woody Allen's Amazon series at present, but then it doesn't need to be. All you really need to know is that it's Woody Allen, and he'll be writing and directing the series of half-hour episodes, marking the first time he has done so for television. While his output may be very hit-and-miss these days, that's still an extremely exciting event for television. Amazon have made significant strides with their original content over the last year or so, with the likes of Transparent and Man in the High Castle winning a lot of acclaim and proving successful with audiences, and this could be the series that really helps them challenge for Netflix's crown. Of the series, Allen said: "I don't know how I got into this. I have no ideas and I'm not sure where to begin. My guess is that Roy Price will regret this." See, complete optimism.
