That’s getting deeper into it, yeah. I was just explaining the very basics of the Netflix hate argument related to what he was saying. There’s lots of factors like completion rates, budget, fan reception, popularity, views, individual views, etc to get into. I’m not a Netflix hater despite my comment sounding like one.

This is pretty good, where did you find Shrinking is a limited series because I cant find anything on that, and I could see Adrien Brody making best guest actor for a comedy series

I also think Masters of the Air could make a big splash in this and is being underestimated.

I feel like the show was pretty clear from the beginning that it wasn't going to provide answers and that wasn't really the point. Unlike Lost where from the way the mysteries were presented made getting answers more integral.

That said the show actually does provide a good answer to at least the main mystery at the end. It's ambiguous if the answer is true or not, but you could just choose to take it at face value.

It could be worse, though. Crunchyroll, for example, is a streaming service for anime and they only have like subs for 5 languages. Their subs aren't very good either, so I guess it's a general problem in these streaming services that prioritize cheap subs just because they're quickly made and then they don't have to worry about them anymore.

It's dumb, given the fact these companies are investing millions and millions of money in making/acquiring new content for their services and then they think a sub made in a rush by someone who's being underpaid will be good enough.

On the other side, subtitles made by fans are usually good and they don't receive a single penny for it.

This just isn’t true the recruit , Lincoln lawyer , Emily in Paris , bunch of the Korean shows , Tim robinsons show , dead to me , all of the reality tv shows alll got renewed because people watched them and completed them so the budgets were justified it’s a business I don’t know how this isn’t understandable Netflix makes hundred of shows and movies a year we only ever focus on what gets canceled and then just ignore what gets renewed the sandman isn’t anywhere close to Wednesday viewership and it got renewed

Not really. In order to NOT get canceled at Netflix, you have to be as big as Wednesday, Stranger Things, or Bridgerton. Netflix constantly canceled niche but really good shows that might take a season or two to catch on, and Netflix terminates those shows too fast. What you’re talking about was never a Netflix complaint and I think you misunderstand the issue with Netflix cancellations in general.
Or you’re trying to be funny in which case haha very good
