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.

Wait, wha? You have to restart? I bet we could figure out where you left off, roughly, in a few minutes.

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...

Re: The State of Netflix

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.

I think the content deluge, IE: expecting people to just fire up Netflix and click on whatever's in front of them to kill time each night, maybe made more sense when...

Mostly permanent, we use them all pretty often.

One exception has been Apple+, which we used for a few months for Ted Lasso and Foundation (and a couple of movies, while we were "there"), and will...

Yeah, I've got Netflix, Hulu, HBO MAX, cable, and Dropout.

Decent chance I'll drop cable in the next couple of years, but not yet. Still watch enough news, network stuff (Hulu has a lot of it,...

Re: The State of Netflix

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.

Sure, but these are just the 20 I found while sifting through a fraction of the ~800 or so. The idea here is that even if someone's totally uninterested in most of it (certainly true in my case),...

Depends on how you care to define the terms, but everything on the list is exclusive to Netflix. Obviously, as you say, Black Mirror didn't originate with them, but they bought it and produced the...

Re: The State of Netflix

Just to expound a little, I think over half the shows on that list were either added in the last year, or I just watched in the last year, so it's been a pretty dramatic shift. I basically went from...
