Really, I'm not this positive in my outlook. But I find it ironic -- if perhaps a bit naive -- to think that Hollywood's rampant, myopic self-interest might end up "forcing" the public into the arms of better quality content.
All those "History" and "How Things Work" and the like shows on cable have proven quite popular. (And "Mythbusters", with its enhanced entertainment factor.) Maybe not just Netflix, but aggregate culture, is onto something, here.
- StacyC 15y agoI don’t think it’s naive. Many people are getting fed up with the substandard crap that mostly comes from the studios anymore and are demanding something better. Hollywood does not have a monopoly on talent. Spend a little time on Vimeo and you can see that there are some terrific filmmakers and storytellers out there.
