  1. Netflix films all feel a bit like Sharknado or Volcano — engineered to poke into the cultural zeitgeist for exactly 15 minutes. Then disappear forever. film_girl/1407021951403446276

      Nobody goes back and watches ‘classic’ Netflix films the way they do for old HBO shows. There’s a few early-Netflix shows that fit the bill (OITNB, Bojack) but they aren’t aiming for long-term poignancy.

        Netflix cares only about subscriber growth. Until they focus on anything else, all movies will be bland and broad-appeal, all TV shows will last 3 seasons.
