This is really pie in the sky, but I'm gonna mention it anyway because it really means a lot to me as a viewer of international tv drama, and as a television scholar. One of the ways Peacock could differentiate itself from its competitors would be to expand on the deal that Comcast has already made with Viaplay, since until now Viaplay has only been available to Comcast customers through XFinity. Nothing has been said about a standalone app or subscription to Viaplay, which remains the sole repository of tons and tons of excellent Scandinavian drama. If there's one thing that's currently lacking on Peacock is foreign drama, and by doing this, they could add a rich dimension to their offering, and appeal to a different audience. There's LOTS of interest in Nordic Noir out there, and Peacock could capitalize on it.
