I totally agree with you. I feel as if netflix doesn't press their writers and the creatives enough to develop a full arc for a story.
It seems like every shows' got an idea. And then once they get funding they start thinking through the details. I know it would be a lot of ask and probably expensive but people write novels all the time. Netflix could break the mold by looking for stories that fit something like 24 chapters / episodes and having a complete 'thing' at the end of it. The could then have the arc of the story to work with and just produce three seasons of content to spread the risk.
- jarjoura 6y agoI don't think any platform will fund a creative project without a stated beginning, middle and end. It's just that Netflix pays upfront for the idea, so the writers and directors don't have control over when to finish the story. If they're told to space this idea out over 5 seasons and paid by the season, what else can they do except to live the dream of making original content and hope for the best?
