Also, Netflix's library is incredibly small compared to the amount of shows people actually watch. Netflix now blocks rooted Android devices. Netflix's originals are mostly terrible. So piracy vs $10/month for so much less is just painful. They don't allow anything more than 720p on chrome quite ironic considering the widevine deal. So yes, it seems Netflix is much more inconvenient than piracy.

  While I also strongly disagree that Netflix's originals are "mostly terrible", I also think that awards shows are not as objective a judge of quality as I (and I imagine many others) would like.

    What would you suggest as a more objective judge of quality?

      That's really the hard part, isn't it? Reputable known reviewers identified at personal discretion? My problems with most award shows is that nominations are essentially purchased.

  Awards shows are not real and are ridiculous. I don't like any of them, but the only ones people I know like are the Orange show and the Cards show. And now they are going to make a Death Note movie...

    Wow.. really? There are many that are insanely popular. House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black, as you mentioned but I'm not sure how you've missed their others like... A Series of Unfortunate Events, Narcos, The Crown, Stranger Things, The OA, Sense8, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Grace and Frankie, Santa Clarita Diet, BoJack Horseman... .. and that's without mentioning their extremely successful original kids programming or co-productions (like Lillyhammer, or the new Degrassi, or Dirk Gently) and of course their continuations (Fuller House, Arrested Development, Trailer Park Boys, Black Mirror.. etc). I mean.. just look at that line up.

      To be fair, the Trailer Park Boys reboot was unnecessary and absolutely terrible. It was a thoroughly great series before they touched it.

        Eh, it did well enough viewership wise. It's had 3 extra seasons and looks like it'll get a 4th. That's a solid response.
