Amazon’s new TV show, Ring Nation, is a big move to capitalize on the popularity of the Ring Doorbell. Ring videos have been featured regularly on US comedy shows for some time. Owners of the devices often post clips on Reddit. Those clips should be used in the TV show. The clip should feature people saving each other from strangers, marriage proposals, soldier reunions, and silly animals. In addition to being on the show, the clips should also be based on the ones published by the Ring owners.
Ring Nation
The new television show Ring Nation is produced by MGM Studios and Amazon and stars Emmy winner Bill Hader. The show debuted September 26. The show will also feature viral videos from Ring security cameras. Wanda Sykes hosts the show. Currently in production, Ring Nation will feature footage taken from smart home cameras. The producers hope that the show will appeal to viewers across the United States.
Privacy concerns
While the company has faced backlash from critics for its ongoing cooperation with police departments in the United States, Ring has also been under fire for privacy issues, including hacked cameras and location tracking. Critics have called the show a way for Amazon to normalise corporate surveillance.
The show is made in collaboration with MGM Television and producer Big Fish Entertainment.
