but you know what: for Jeff Bezos it doesn't work out, so there has to be something wrong...
Given that: I'm getting tired of Netflix's concept of producing a lot of crappy shows for regional markets - if I'd like to have that, I can go to my public broadcaster too for the mandatory fee I have to pay anyways... (and they also realized by now that they have to do something for non-retirees). For nice and "special" movies, buying a DVD is most often the only sensible option. Or some stream somewhere... (which are not good at special things either)
- ramblerman 7y agoBeg to differ. Netflix has made some great local content, narcos, Dark, Casa de papel, The dutch civil war resistance miniseries, some great French comedies, and the list goes on. I think it's great to see stuff not all coming out of Hollywood.
- jpgvm 7y agoThey also just recently released their own Thai drama series and have done a number of Korean series and films also. I think it goes further than just creating solid content but fostering more investment and talent outside of Hollywood which I think is great.
- C1sc0cat 7y agoThat Dutch resistance one sounds interesting
- greedo 7y agoDark, Casa De Papel, Babylon Berlin are excellent productions.
- fock 7y agoBabylon Berlin is produced by Sky and got heavy investment from public stations. The rest is certainly nice for a specific crowd, but nothing special either.
- Avalaxy 7y agoDutch civil war? I think you're talking about another country here.
- ramblerman 7y agoI meant to say Ww2 resistance. My mistake :) It’s called “the resistance banker”
- fock 7y agoI can see a lot of non-local (but still European) stuff in Europe too, fully synchronized, in public TV, which I have to pay (...) anyways. And it's the same shallow, non-distinguishable, mass-market ready stuff like 90% of Netflix's own stuff. The only thing Netflix does better for me personally is that the setting generally seems to cater to younger people. Production quality and plot are the same as in public TV.
- WhyNotHugo 7y agoI really don't get people who use broadcast TV. You have to plan your life around anything you want to watch -- which is the oppostite of Netflix, which adapts to my own schedules and free time. It just seems crazy!
- fock 7y agopublic broadcast TV around here has everything up for free download in 720p some time around broadcasting. So you basically only have to decide if you ever want to watch something and can grab it.
- cardiffspaceman 7y agoOne word: "DVR". Verb sap. We also have Netflix and Prime, and watch a lot of YouTube.
- iudqnolq 7y agoBut Netflix frequently subs their local content so it can be watched around the world. As someone who's brain reads subs seamlessly, I like this.
