Netflix Has Gone Shite Recently

Post by ToRmAtO »

In the last couple of months or maybe a bit longer Netflix has become totally obsessed with bringing in predominately Sci-Fi, Horror and Fantasy programmes to their schedule. If this is your thing then great, but for me no.

Amazon Prime has recently introduced a whole heap of older series that were good at the time such as Monk, House, Ally McBeal, Bones, Smallville, Mentalist, Elementary, Leverage and on and on with some quite good new stuff like The Boys (a different slant on Sci-Fi) which was excellent IMO.

Now TV has some great stuff and a good balance of programmes too.

Netflix seems to me and I'm not trying to be sexist are going full-on for the male market, where in reality women usually rule the remote control.

It has changed but don't forget they've lost access to a load of Disney stuff and on their own content they've invested so much cash, they will need to see quicker returns or hike subscriptions which will kill their business model.

Agree, and it's a load of bollocks.

Been paying for it for ages and can't remember the last time I used it.

There's a brilliant youtube channel called Red Letter Media and according to them the average person can't cope with more than 12 choices.

They both just show obscure old films and tv.

London Live is a very weird station.

I rarely watch TV at all these days.

I have greatest respect for Rugby Union, they started it mid-way through the 19th century. Thankfully we grabbed it and turned it into a spectacle on 29th August 1895

Im only keeping Netflix for the upcoming F is for Family and the new DeNiro, Pesci, Pacino movie about Jimmy Hoffa that's out in November. Most of their new stuff seems to be foreign language shite nowadays. Oh and 30million dollars paid to Obama for what actually?

Amazon Prime is light years better even though it has far less content.

I love Bill Burr but I can't believe he called his show 'F is for family ' rather than 'Only one F in family '.

Probably one of those 'out of his hands' decisions by Netflix themselves.
