Maybe it's that the services themselves do not know how to market their own shows. When I log into Netflix all I see is endless trash. Amazon at least tries to show off their marquee shows (Rings of Power, Wheel of Time, Reacher - it doesn't help they are all mediocre).
- asdajksah2123 3y agoPart of it is that Netflix is trash. There is no benefit for Netflix to make great shows. They don't need to attract new viewers. In fact, high quality shows with intricate and difficult story lines are a detriment to the slow drip sugar dose Netflix wants to give its viewers so they keep hitting "Play Next" and spending hours on their platform. A good quality show is hard to get into but its also hard to keep binge watching it.
- Wytwwww 3y ago> Rings of Power, Wheel of Time, Reacher - it doesn't help they are all mediocre Mediocre is a huge compliment for those shows though. Especially for the Rings of Power...
- kcartlidge 3y agoI agree with all of that, except that I really enjoy Reacher. And if you're a fan of the books, then it's good to see the main character played by someone so much truer to the original than Tom Cruise ever was.
- legitster 3y agoSeason 1 was pleasantly entertaining, even if the ending was a bit lame. But Season 2 - man, I dunno. It's like they went with the first draft of a script and just shipped it.
- kcartlidge 3y agoFair point. I finished the season 2 finale this evening and it just ... ended. Still entertaining but whilst there was a final set-piece showdown and things were wrapped up okay, it felt like loads of episodes of digging around followed by a highly compressed surge of closure in the final episode. Similar to season one, though again I enjoyed both.
