TV SHOWS / SERIES - Seen any good ones lately? Please feel free to post reviews / feedback / trailers / articles / TV news / all that shit ...

Netflix is still operating like they did 10+ years ago when they were the only streaming service on the market.

When they started doing series, there was no competition. Network TV wasn’t putting out anything worth watching and Cable, HBO, Showtime were putting out the premiere series back then.

What gave the Netflix the jump was releasing all the episodes at once. Netflix would debut the new season on a Thursday, folks would get off of work Friday and start binging the season Friday night going thru Saturday which gave it high ratings.

Now, there is a shit load of streaming sites putting out top content. Folks only have a limited time to watch all this shit, especially if you working a 9/5 job and possibly doing overtime. Lots of folks are working multiple jobs so their personal time is limited.

And like i pointed out earlier, cuz folks are struggling financially, they bounce around from streaming services and only purchase one at a time, bing everything that came out over the past year, cancel and wait until next year to do again, and jump to the next streaming service…

And it doesn’t help that you gotta wait 2 or more years for a new season.

Netflix needs to adjust quickly or they gonna lose longtime monthly subscribers.

^^^^

Every time we think they dead though?

They raise the rates again and make even more money and get even more subscribers.

Explain that crazy sh*t?
 
Friendly reminder for the fans of Dark Winds ... starts tomorrow.

I’ll have to check it out



@DC_Dude - the season is 2/3 complete after this week's 10th episode. Still consistently good and I'm enjoying having it in the weekly rotation. There's enough happening each episode with characters and storylines. Some of the acting is better than others, as per previously, so you'll definitely have some staff and patients you care for more than others. Also, one thing the podcasters reviewing the show have said that works well is that seeing as each episode is 1 hour of the shift, sometimes you'll see a storyline introduced and sort of forget about it ... only to have it later reappear. So as a viewer you're sort of cataloguing stuff / keeping tabs.


Fave episode so far was probably #8.

They aren't, that's why they've pivoted to live events.
 
With the acquisition of WWE, and a little bit of boxing (Tyson-Paul) and NFL ... look for them to get a portion of the UFC in the future too (they're currently available through ESPN+ and PPV).
I don't get these deals. When you look at all the money the super bowl makes they would make a killing in ad money if they aired the big matches on abc/cbs

Seems like they've done a bit of UFC stuff on ABC in recent years. One of the cards I remember was Holloway-Kattar.

Fox had their contract for years and put on some good TV cards (with notable names).

Strikeforce and/or Elite FC used to fuck with CBS earlier in the late-2000s or early-2010s, if I remember correctly.

Whereas Bellator later on was mostly via Spike TV and / or Paramount / Paramount+

PFL was ESPN or ESPN+, and here in Canada they were carried on TSN
