I've just noticed that for many years, Netflix would show that their most-watched show was The Office. And I'm sitting here thinking -- all of this new content and the thing people are watching is over a decade old?
South Park, Family Guy, Friends, Sienfield... I've seen these promoted by multiple services as the most-watched shows available.
- numpad0 5y agoPeople prefers to watch videos of normal people doing normal people things over everything else? I can’t laugh at my straw man either but that is horrifying.
- gowld 5y agoWhen a show has 10 long seasons, it's going to have more watch time than each of 10 single/mini series.

I don't think "created something more popular than The Office" is a good metric to decide that Netflix only creates mediocre content. The Office is really popular! There's plenty of room for creating high quality content, even if no single show reaches the level of popularity of The Office.
