It's no longer as convenient with dozens of streaming services; the streaming bitrate is also subpar, and audio is compressed to the point it feels flat. If you want to be mindful about what you are watching, it will be really hard with Netflix, Prime, and Disney compared to your own media server. When I had a streaming subscription, I was constantly shocked by what was popular in Poland and what people were watching. It took me some time to accept that I am not their target audience.
- eastbound 1y agoThe quality of shows is also subpar. And there aren’t many shows on Netflix at a given time: Probably 80 things to watch, all categories included (with 70% of overlap in content).
- JKCalhoun 1y agoI feel like we've had at least two lost decades of good content. It's probably somewhere, I just haven't found it yet.
- disillusioned 1y agoIn my humble opinion, some "good content": Netflix: * Dark * Fisk * Adolescence * Ripley * The Queen's Gambit * Ozark * Baby Reindeer * Easy Apple TV: * Black Bird * The Studio * Severance * Shrinking * Ted Lasso HBO: * The Wire * Oz * True Detective (S1 at least) * The Sopranos * Big Love * Rome * In Treatment * Succession * Deadwood * Insecure Misc: * Colin From Accounts * Black Sails * Mad Men * Breaking Bad * Better Call Saul I don't know, there's plenty. It just absolutely gets washed out with a lot of chaff.
- madrasman 1y agoIn India, people classify movies as “mass” or “class”. Netflix and Prime are doing a lot more “mass” and for good reasons.
- JKCalhoun 1y agoI guess I wasn't thinking "series", but "films". I know I have a lot of series to catch up on (although from the above, I found Severance disappointing, oh well).
- BLKNSLVR 1y agoOff topic: Black Sails is amazing, I've watched it through a couple of times, and every now and then I lament that I'm not watching it again yet... On topic: Black Sails is about actual piracy. P.S. Fisk - you're a fellow Aussie I take it?
