No wonder Netflix continues to make shitty shows. People are watching shitty shows. I don't watch the shows that the bulk of Netflix viewers watch!

  Same. I feel Netflix is a really shitty version of HBO. I rarely, if ever, watch it. The original House of Cards was great. Mindhunter was alright. Neither reached the pinnacle of most HBO programming. It's a shame that David Zaslav believes prestige television must take a backseat to cheap, "comfort" viewing. And the fact that they ditched such a prestigious brand to rename themselves "Max".

    "The original 'House of Cards'" was this one[0] set in the UK. Presumably you're thinking of the US remake with Kevin Spacey. [0]: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098825/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098825/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2 /pedant

While Zaslav will obviously make things worse, note that it was AT&T that fired all the HBO bosses that curated HBO’s offerings quite a few years ago now. HBO was killed before Zaslav got to it.

  So exactly the same as all entertainment throughout history?
