With restrictions all but gone around the world there’s less people under the bed willing to watch any aul shite on Netflix now and actually spending time outside meeting people.
Inflation is biting too. People are looking at ways to cut back and subscriptions are a low hanging fruit currently.
Easy win. You have the best customer data in the world, you put 1 ad in front of every episode and you will coin it.
Talk is that Hulu will merge with Disney+ once the Comcast share goes. I think they’d be as well off keeping them separate and just continuing to bundle the three (with ESPN+) for a special price but the CEO wants to merge the two apparently.
HBO Max is merging with Discovery+ following the corporate merger.
Along with Peacock, you’ll have a Big 4 for streaming along with Apple and Amazon Prime. I can see Paramount getting bought out by Apple. The Fox network and the likes of Sony staying outside of a major streaming service is interesting.
It’s going to be back to the future with most of these offerings as things consolidate and they look for revenue. The good days for viewers ended 3 to 4 years ago and the corporate silly season is also at an end.
Is there anyway they can stop the march of iptv? Mine is flawless on series and movies
It’s much easier to just torrent or use an IPTV service now.
They could do with concentrating on quality over quantity for new material.
They are too big to fail though.
As said above, in addition to too much crap, potentially decent stuff is ruined by being eked out 8-12 episodes.

At what point does Better Call Saul get daycent? I’m halfway through the second series.
When the brother is no longer in it the show starts. After that it’s top class

He just calved in a photocopying gaff. I presume we have liftoff?

No danny masterson, hes still on trial
Started this tonight. An easy watch so far.
Hit and run is a decent show. Israeli spy genre. Ended abruptly enough and no sign of a second season

The Jared Leto character was too much for me
He is fairly over the top alright
Yeah, didn’t finish it. Was just the same thing each episode
