The thing is, as much as they say network television is dying, it's still the most money actors can get for TV work if it's a long season. I was shocked how small everyone's episode paychecks were for Strange New Worlds (small being a relative term). Network TV, you know when work starts and ends every season, you get raises the longer the show goes, and then there's the syndication money. Streaming show, you're contractually obligated for the next season that might not even happen or takes years to get going and you have to pass on other work in the meantime.
