Netflix

It is very hit and miss.

The Christmas movies though know they’re bad, it’s become tradition for Netflix to release B grade XMas films, very hallmark channel style. I will watch Love Hard and I liked Holidate last year :rofl:

Quality of series still seems pretty good, but their films are, generally speaking, horrendous.

Agree, apart from a couple of standout big budget Netflix original movies which are the drawcards, usually with one big name actor, the rest of the movies are pretty much Tubi quality.

I don’t watch many Netflix Original movies, I only have it for their third party content such as Hollywood cinema-released movies and TV shows such as Superstore and Seinfeld.

The rankings will now be based on the total number of hours viewed for a given title, rather than Netflix’s previous standard of a two-minute sample.

So in saying this, two films I am really looking forward to that I had briefly forgotten is Tick, Tick, Boom which premieres this Friday and Don’t Look Up which premieres on Dec 24th.

They both look fantastic and have some really great talent in front and behind the camera.

I have enjoyed a bunch of Netflix films actually but I think they’re just drowned out from having too high an output with overwhelmingly bad movies - if they focused on reducing output and increasing quality they’d be in a winning spot.

Less is more, one or two original films a month that focus on quality would be far preferable than the 50 plus movies they release per year most of which come and go without fanfare - I get they’re building a catalogue but a catalogue of shit most have no intent to watch or go back and watch isn’t a warranted investment.

I think that’s Apple TV+, however I’m not sure that’s working for them.

Apple is too extreme with the less is more - though they’ve ramped series output recently.

Two originals per month for netflix would still be 24 per year so half of their film output this year but would increase the value of those films imo.

Look its great they’re appealing to a worldwide audience and I’m probably not their demographic but I saw this description (was from a Buzzfeed article so could be their wokeness) that said.

Amerie is a whip smart and outwardly brash working-class girl, who has an enormous heart and an even bigger mouth.

So are we now normalizing sex work for teenagers in high school? I could understand she was doing it secretly and it was part of her struggle but it sounds like she’s fine about it. Or does the author mean she comes from a working class family? Cause those are two different things.

:roll_eyes: How do you get “sex worker” from “working-class girl”? You must have sex on the brain.

Of course working-class girl means she’s a girl from a working class family. In the same way her father would be a working-class man and her brother would be a working-class boy.

JBar are you stalking me again?

Maybe my dyslexia is playing up but that was my first impression which wouldn’t surprise me these days.

No, I’m responding to your comment and how you quickly jump to conclusions with a desire to brand something “woke” yet again.

I haven’t had Netflix for a little while but was going to re-join. $16.99 for the standard package seems a lot. Does the basic package suffice? Or do I need the standard?
