I cancelled a few years back after getting tired of the rate hikes. Now that Stranger Things is done I honestly have no idea what ongoing series or movie franchises they have at this point. Is there anything still in the zeitgeist now? I don't hear about anything.
They're focused on solely making content you can double screen, while watching, so all super slow repeating what's happening frequently, nothingness. Personally, I judge a show on whether I reach for my phone or not. If I reach, I know it's bad or at least mid. I won't double screen. I stop watching. So It's nice to be told there's nothing on Netflix for me.
Oof. That is the type I hate the most, second only to reality TV. When I watch something, I sit down to focus on it. It’s not something on another screen or in the background.
I gave up on them when they kept hiking the price and removing features.
It's literally why we have Netflix. It is constantly playing on the background as my wife works. I prefer music for work. Apple TV and Dropout for streaming entertainment.
Why pay for elevator music?
Do you think elevator music was free? Muzak was a successful company for many years, selling background.

How much did it cost those in the elevator?

Bit late to this comment but I also wanna add they have a lot of exclusive anime, notably JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Fuck I forgot they have JoJo on there... Hulu only has like the first 4 parts or so.
Yeah part 7 is currently running right now with a new episode every week, only on Netflix unfortunately.
I mostly watch stuff I already know, and mostly stuff that aired decades ago. I should just buy those old series on DVD, throw them on Jellyfin and cancel my subscription.
people were done with stranger things, it took like 10 years to put out 4-5 measlely seasons i heard, basically what AOT did.
Bro it was 10 years from the end of season 3 to the beginning of season 5 alone.
wow, that sounds terrible, no wonder there was so many memes about millie brown.
In addition to the shows already mentioned there's all the Mike Flannigan shows which are great. Umbrella Academy is great. Monsters seasons by Ryan Murphy are also well done. There's a lot of slop on there but also some gems if you know what to look for.
