HBO and Netflix both produce a couple of dozen shows a year. HBO seems like it has a better hit ratio because you have to go back every week to get an update on the one or two current shows you enjoy. HBO has a better presentation for appearing prestige.
- throwawaymath 8y agoNo, I disagree strongly. I don't binge Netflix and I still feel the same way.
- siidooloo 8y agoDo you watch 24 different HBO shows a year, or do you watch 4 or 5?
- throwawaymath 8y agoFour or five, but I don't really follow what you mean. I sit through maybe 10 pilots on Netflix that don't motivate me to watch the entire season. The last time I tried and failed to get into an HBO show was with Succession (in my opinion that show is exceptionally bad). Before that I can't recall. But on Amazon I churned off of literally everything, and on Netflix it takes me at least five duds (that are apparently a strong match for me) to find something I'll commit to. The only thing I think Netflix has really nailed is comedy, and that's because their selection of comedy is actually diverse and comprehensive. Conversely, a lot of their selection for traditional drama is formulaic.
