Im at a stage where I am more than happy to pay for really good shows. It really isn't about price, just value. It's just been ages since NF made anything stellar.

They said about The OA (I loved season 1)...

Neflix describes The OA as "a big creative swing we were proud to take," but says that when it comes to deciding what to renew and what to cancel, "viewing versus cost" is always what it takes into account.

This philosophy means we get loads of average crap. They aren't a regular network, why the hell are they acting like it.

I've said before, because it's linked with delivery, Prime seems to be the only service willing to take risks, and they make some great stuff because of it. HBO seems to be a distant second.

When I saw OA, I thought holy shit Netflix really gets it, this is amazing, I can't wait to see what comes next. And now it's like a special on the Johnny Depp trial and a bunch of depressing drama / horror shows. There was a brief golden age but nothing really good since Covid.
