No wonder the big stations execpt for premium cable like HBO or AMC are only doing a very few big budget shows. lol I was thinking more like their Marvel shows not being cheap or The Crown. THOSE look mega expensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maleficent 6 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Their new releases have sucked. That zombie bs with what’s her name was awful. And Naomi Watts’ Gypsy seemed promising—and then you realize that the show is literally going nowhere. Grace & Frankie and House of Cards are the only decent shows Netflix produces.

ShockPop 7,747 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 They're fine. When you invest money you're in debt until your investment pays off. Netflix is an institution. If they were in trouble they'd put in place the structure you'd expect: tiers of membership... The more you pay the fewer ads you see, and pay-per-view events which are cheap to make but can turn a dollar through views and ads. No biggie.

babs 5,093 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 You're telling me the cheapest Netflix subscription is 7.99 dollars a month, multiplied by 104 million subscribers it should be about 8.300.960.000$ in revenue a month, and that is not enough for these people to not be in debt? how do these things play out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Child 18,997 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The only original serie I like from them is OITNB anyway, all their other series suck. I'm even thinking about canceling my subscription. ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be fine for the immediate future, no worries. OT: Yeah they could be more selective about their original content or about saving pitched tv shows and then claiming them "netflix exclusives" For example, the marvel series (other than Iron Fist) is some of the best TV ive seen in years, so are shows like House of Cards, Grace & Frankie, Sense8 (rip), etc. But no one is here for the cringe worthy variety show - comedy specials Lots of reboots and saved shows end up awful too. I do appreciate their concern for diversity and representation in media, its nice, but just looking at Netflix Originals RN and I have to scroll several frames before I'm genuinely interested in anything They need to refocus. Then maybe they'd have money for shows like Sense8 that had amazing fanbases and development - because those people will carry a show much better than fans of a comedy special will care Also, they need to be more hesitant about insta renewing series 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all the originals have been weak except early OITNB and Ozark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have lots of debt while having lots of capital and assets. Debt is beneficial when used appropriately. Apple has about 100b in debt, Amazon about 65b.

A lot of money goes into that every month, it's an enormous cost.
