I'm still sceptical. If it costs $100 million to produce a quality show season it doesn't seem like Netflix can produce more than a handful per year. Is that enough content to keep people subscribed if Hollywood keeps taking away more and more of their stuff?
- leobelle 13y agoHBO only produces a handful a year, and Netflix has actually got a pretty decent selection of stuff.
- gumby 13y agoI agree they can't fill their pipeline alone. Yet the studios have Netflix by the gonads since the studios control who gets to see what when. You can see this from Netflix's crappy selection of streaming videos compared to their selection of DVDs. Not to mention that films mysteriously appear and disappear from the streaming library due to license expirations. No way Netflix would want to do that on their own.
- avenger123 13y agoThe residual benefits of a hit series that Netflix produces is really where the value is. With a hit series that they own: 1) Subscribers know that the series will never go way. 2) Once a season is the bag, the return on the season is really high going forward as there is no cost to show the episodes (ie. no content fees) All this means that Netflix will continue to fund new series and find ways to bring the cost down. The future returns on a series is just to big to ignore for them to not do it.
