Netflix in trouble

I wish there was a place to get Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law reruns somewhere. They don’t even show the reruns on Adult Swim anymore. I have a handful of episodes on my DVR from where they showed a few episodes before Birdgirl’s pilot, but that’s it, and Birdgirl kinda sucks.

Mindhunter has been the biggest knock on Netflix to date for me, though I’m not fully sure that all blame can be on Netflix. Fincher just seemed to want to do other things. I’m not sure how the solve that.

But, admittedly, I end up holding it against them.

They deserve some blame. Seemed like both parties were fine just letting it die.

Did you ever watch "The Life and Times of Tim" on HBO? I thought of that show last weekend and watched a few episodes, still holds up (although it's not available on HBO)

They have that F1 series too. It’s a good watch

Yeah I watched all 4 seasons of that when I had COVID and it was a good time killer. I actually am watching F1 races now.
 
F1 has been awesome long before that show came out. NASCAR is better, but F1 kicks ass too. Can’t wait for for Kimi Raikkonen to make his NASCAR Cup debut later this season

Had to refresh myself on that. Forgot that what started the ball rolling to kill this was Netflix wanted to take the budget way down. Fincher said fuck it and went to do different things.

And now I’m pissed off at them again.
 
Netflix biggest issue is for their movies they do mostly unoriginal movies with a bunch of star power and hope that works.

But in reality it leads to all the movies being average at best for the most part and a huge waste of money because they have to pay all the A listers A list money.

When Max/Prime/Hulu etc.. release an original movie straight to their platfrom, some are definitely bad as well. But there is always the chance a gem emerges.

And all of them have more consistent tv content as well

They just refuse to commit to things that keep people subscribed. They go all in on their big stuff, that'll get everyone to subscribe for a month, but the smaller things that keep people interested they write off after a season or two. Just a really bizarre model they went with, and now they've lost their third party content like the Office and Friends to every studio starting their own streaming service, they're left with Stranger Things every 2-3 years to keep people coming back.
 
The Office was good the first couple watch-thrus.

Since Comedy Central has been playing it on loop, minus the controversial episodes they removed because it wasn't the "okay" form of comedy, I'm over it.

If you kept a Netflix subscription to just watch the Office...

They've cranked out some solid movies. A lot of average/shit movies too. Don't think any of that matters one way or the other, original series are what they need to keep people subscribed. If they just have a handful of those, and pop out a good movie every now and then, people can just subscribe for a month or two, watch everything they want, cancel, repeat 6 months later.

Disney and HBO are constantly turning out original series, and they release an episode per week. If you're into their content it's not really worth stopping your subscription. Plus Disney has all the Disney content, Marvel, and some Fox content (like the Simpsons), HBO has WB and DC and all their backlog of content. Now Peacock and Paramount have all the classic network shows.

They need to change how they release their original content, and commit to more of it, accept not all of it is gonna be some huge cultural thing and that it still has value way more than they need to start changing their subscription/ad models. That's just gonna drive more away.
