There’s so much bland shit on Netflix but then every time I think I’ve had enough of it and I’m on the verge of unsubscribing they go and release something like Wednesday that smashes it out of the park.
- ghaff 4y agoWednesday's the best thing I've seen on Netflix for a while. But, yeah, they have just enough good exclusive content to keep around for now. I'm sort of in the same boat with HBO Max.
- Apocryphon 4y agoStreaming is in an interesting place because a lot of the big hits (at least from my POV) are now such lavish productions that like movies, their sequels do not necessarily arrive year after year. So The White Lotus, House of the Dragon, and Andor (of Disney+) are being filmed in 2023, and will not be returning until 2024. It's an interesting scheduling situation- so they're going to have to put out new content to fill the void in the meantime for the fans of such shows who have nothing to look forward to for an entire year, to keep them from unsubscribing.
- rcarr 4y agoI agree that the production value for TV shows is insanely good now, it must cost them a small fortune. I don’t know how they are keeping the budgets lower than their movie equivalents or perhaps maybe I don’t know how movies justify their budgets given the quality of modern day tv series.
- ghaff 4y agoThey aren't necessarily. Rings of Power season one had a budget of almost $500 million. That's almost 3x what Top Gun: Maverick cost and twice what Black Panther: Wakanda Forever cost. (Yes, it's more hours of content but it's still in the neighborhood of blockbuster movie budgets.)
