Hardly surprising, the point of building a cookie cutter is to mass produce cookies
Just okay TV is here to stay
Is this news to literally anyone? Just okay TV has been a mainstay for my entire 30+ year life. How do you think shit like the masked singer, the seventh spinoff of NCIS, 18 law and orders, the voice, basically all reality TV, etc stay in the air so long? Recycled scripts, easy to make, low production costs. They don’t need a lot of viewers. They only need enough viewers to glue eyes to the product/ads. In Netflix case it’s not ads (yet…just wait), but every Mary and Jim that will watch easy to make trash just to have something on is a Mary and Jim that they can rely on to keep paying their subscription fee. The people that will consume just okay trash are the PRIMARY demographic for most content creators of all types, make no mistake.
Man I’m like an inch away from dropping Netflix. I’ve had it since it was DVDs, but the price keeps going up, and the value keeps going down.
Just do it, see how it feels. It’s easy to come back later when you want to.
