Watch these two old BBC shows; I, Claudius and The Prisoner.
It's a good chance to see what you can do on a low budget if you are willing to use your imagination.
I, Claudius tells the story of the first four Roman emperors. All the spectacles are off camera, but you don't care. The Prisoner creates an entire world inside a small seaside resort.

Idk why Netflix continues to fuck up in this exact way over and over again. Did they not learn from Marco Polo, which they produced over a decade ago to be their version of Game of Thrones? At the time, it was one of the most expensive TV shows ever made, but nobody watched it and nobody remembers it because it was all spectacle and no substance. Nobody I know who liked the Netflix Witcher is planning on watching Season 4, and no amount of budget is going to fix that.
At the risk of being pedantic.
"The Making of Star Trek" came out when the show was still in production. It's interesting to see how they used low budget practical effects and smart writing to produce a classic.
Worth a read.
Why would that be pedantic?
