That's a good thing, tbh.
Too many good show concepts get ruined by the legacy (and very outmoded) American TV syndication business-model which forces producers to make 20+ episodes per year which really compromises the quality of a show. Netflix's business model was/is fantastic for original showrunners because if they want to make a miniseries or 8-10 episode season then that's more than fine with Netflix, because the better the overall quality the more people will be willing to pay for Netflix (also, why Netflix is fine with showing ample non-US content licensed from other countries' media industries which would never get TV air-time in the US because they (rightfully) don't want to compromise their shows by padding them out to 20+ episodes a year.
That said, I stopped watching Netflix like... 4-5 years ago and I'm still paying for it, argh.
- dexterdog 5y agoThere is so little quality on Netflix it's laughable. Anything that gets a slight following has a mediocre at best season 2 followed by 2-4 seasons of garbage. Very little is critically watched on the network because an entire 8-12 hour season is dumped on one day.
- JohnWhigham 5y ago20+ episodes per year Only the big 4 networks do this. And the people that watch them are usually too stupid/lazy to find better quality shows.
