It'd be based primarily on new releases, IE: "I definitely wanna see Ted Lasso so I'll start Apple+ back up after the first few episodes have gone up."
Other than that I can't imagine there's any...

Re: The State of Netflix
It's pretty wild that, of the several streaming services I subscribe to, I might be most likely to suspend (though not get rid of permanently) Netflix right now.
There's plenty on there I want to...

Re: The State of Netflix
Ah yes, I'd forgotten about both of those. Both had a break; Mad Men had one extra episode and The Sopranos had eight.

Nope, BB just did it straight up. Season 5 was 16 episodes instead of 13, and had an 11-month break inbetween the two. The cliffhanger for the first half was...

I dunno, that's become pretty standard for hit series' that are winding down: a super-sized season if taken as one, but broken into two. Breaking Bad did it, Better Call Saul did it, Ozark did it....

Re: The State of Netflix
Definitely a necessary shift.

The breathless headlines about this are little better than clickbait. They don't have financial troubles, or a dwindling subscriber base. They're still adding subscribers and their business model is...

Re: The State of Netflix
That's true for purchasing digital copies, yeah, though I think of that differently than I do purchasing monthly subscriptions for streaming. Netflix doesn't do the former, at least not yet.

Still a great value for me, but then, I'm there for the shows as much as the movies. I think the big divide on value is twofold:
1) Do you find a decent number of shows vs. just movies, since a...

I think we've had this exact conversation before, with the same ending (some variant of "what am I supposed to assume if they don't articulate more?"). So I'll give the same response: you don't...

Re: The State of Netflix
These aren't super productive "arguments." If you wanna argue a case, cool, but just "this sucks" or "this owns" and "no it doesn't" are pointless responses.
By way of actually trying to advance a...

Re: The State of Netflix
Based on the examples you mentioned it sounds like you're interested more in their movies as opposed to their TV shows. There are a lot fewer good Netflix movies than there are shows, for sure.
