Back in January it was announced that the famed director Woody Allen would be directing his own television series on the Amazon streaming service.

This project wouldn't only be his first ever TV series, but his first work ever on a streaming service.

Since then it appears Allen has had some difficulties and hasn't been happy with the experience. In an interview with Deadline, he states:

"I don't even know what a streaming service is; that's the interesting thing. When you said streaming service, it was the first time I've heard that term connected with the Amazon thing. I never knew what Amazon was. I've never seen any of those series, even on cable. I've never seen The Sopranos, or Mad Men. I'm out every night and when I come home, I watch the end of the baseball or basketball game, and there's Charlie Rose and I go to sleep. Amazon kept coming to me and saying, please do this, whatever you want. I kept saying I have no ideas for it, that I never watch television. I don't know the first thing about it. Well, this went on for a year and a half, and they kept making a better deal and a better deal. Finally they said look, we'll do anything that you want, just give us six half hours. They can be black and white, they can take place in Paris, in New York and California, they can be about a family, they can be comedy, you can be in them, they can be tragic. We don't have to know anything, just come in with six half hours. And they offered a lot of money and everybody around me was pressuring me, go ahead and do it, what do you have to lose?"

There seems as if it was a bit of miscommunication on both ends. Allen didn't exactly know what was expected of him, and conforming to the way the industry produces TV series now may have not been something he was expecting.

"It's been so hard for me. I had the cocky confidence, well, I'll do it like I do a movie...it'll be a movie in six parts. Turns out, it's not. For me, it has been very, very difficult. I've been struggling and struggling and struggling. I only hope that when I finally do it - I have until the end of 2016 - they're not crushed with disappointment because they're nice people and I don't want to disappoint them. I am doing my best. I fit it in between films, so it's not like, no film this year, I'm doing Amazon. It's a job within my usual schedule. But I am not as good at it as I fantasized I might be. It's not a piece of cake; it's a tough thing and I'm earning every penny that they're giving me and I just hope that they don't feel, 'My God, we gave him a very substantial amount of money and freedom and this is what he gives us?'"

'The Untitled Woody Allen Project' is still currently in development, however a premiere date has yet to be announced.
