Is he for real? Black Mirror alone explores more themes in a more creative way than the entire output of Hollywood over the past 10 years combined.
Add in Squid Game, The Queen's Gambit, The Good Place and more original content, and I think Netflix is honestly the king of quality content right now. They seem to be in the sweet spot, budget-wise, where they can afford to actually bring the director's vision to life, without the production values being so high that they can't afford to take risks.
- tptacek 5y agoThe Good Place isn't a Netflix original. It's an NBC show.
- AussieWog93 5y agoThe more you know (it's exclusive to Netflix and pushed heavily here in Australia, so I assumed). Either way, it's fucking great!

Black Mirror alone explores more themes in a more creative way than the entire output of Hollywood over the past 10 years combined. I think he's just talking about mass appeal, not quality. Netflix has lots of great stuff, but Disney has some of the biggest properties in film & TV.
- AussieWog93 5y agoJust anecdotal, but significantly more people I know watched Squid Game compared to the new Star Wars Trilogy or Spider-Man.
