I enjoyed some of their original content, some they took over they did an okay job of (though they have a habit of trying to convert an episodic series into a long drawn out movie, emphasizing the running plot too much). Some definitely wasn't good.
That said, political content is pretty popular with a big chunk of their subscribers. The rest of us lose out because of it, unfortunately... I don't even know if I would call it political, more just forcing in bits of virtue signaling where it doesn't make sense.
- the_omegist 5y agoNot here to argue, as I mostly agree, but just some nitpicking: when you have a constant, systematic, one-sided discourse, it's more than "just forcing in bits of virtue signaling" and even more than politics. It's pure ideology. Edit: typo
- zdragnar 5y agoFair enough. I tend to be pretty picky about what I watch, so it doesn't feel so constant. That said, it's pretty obviously one-sided and finds ways to creep in here and there. It's certainly not unique to Netflix, though; it feels rather endemic to the entire industry.
