When they were first doing streaming, licence holders saw now value in streaming rights and sold/leased them cheaply..now that their value is clearly established, Disney, HBO etc all want to get people subbed to their own platforms - so regardless of what Netflix offers e.g. Disney it won't be enough to make more sense than Disney keeping e.g. the Fox film stable as a Disney+ exclusive.

Yay capitalism, I guess.

Really miss modern family on Netflix. Was one of my go to comedies.

Heartstopper is lovely.

The comic was same and they have been really faithful to it.

I thought it was adorable.

I would have literally found a show like this life changing when I was in my teens and realising I might be gay.

Only 8 episodes and it flew.

Spoiler Warning

Surprised to see Olivia Colman pop up!

Werewolves Within is a lot of fun. An easy watch with a good ensemble cast .

I notice Together Together seems to have disappeared again after its strange appearance a few weeks ago. Kicking myself I didn't watch it when I had the chance.

Ah crap. I even said at the time I should watch it straight away as there was a high possibility it could disappear as it looked like it was added by accident.

Have yet to watch Werewolves Within.

I'm watching The Missing at the moment. When they speak in French it's not showing subtitles. Is that on purpose or is something up? Only option is to put full subs on to know what they are saying in other languages.

CastorTroy

Netflix are strange for subtitles sometimes. I had them on while watching Into the Night as they kept changing between languages but when they spoke French the subs said "(In English)"

~Rebel~

I don't know about that show in particular, but that usually just means you don't need to know what's being said (and indeed that you're intended not to know, to be in the same position as the protagonist while others are talking around them).

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118971970#Comment_118971970

The subs often get screwed up on Netflix. You gotta turn off Netflix, then turn off the power on your TV. Start it all up again and they should resync.

Abercrombie & Fitch documentary was pretty interesting but I felt like it didn't need to be 90 minutes long. Parts of the story felt dragged out and repetitive. The entire story could have been told in under an hour imo.

I watched season 1 of The Missing. Very good - lots of twists and James Nesbit very good in it.

Is this a UK remake of a Spanish drama called Lies & Deceit? I watched that recently on Netlfix and the story sounds identical. If so I'd highly recommend the Spanish version it was excellent

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118983444#Comment_118983444

The original season of the British series aired in 2017 or 2018 so if anything that Spanish series could be a remake.

Liar is actually also by the same lads who made The Missing spoken about above.

The Missing I probably preferred Season 2 myself, good show. I've only seen the first season of Baptiste (spinoff) which was reasonable but wouldn't hold it to the same standard.

The Nest is quite good. I remember watching it very early in the first lockdown and it being the only thing at that point in time that fully distracted me for an hour every week. The young girl playing Kaya is excellent. It's created and written by Nicole Taylor, who also wrote Wild Rose with Jesse Buckley

Oof. Absolute proof positive Netflix is simply throwing money at the worst projects.

Quoting my own post, if only to highlight the contradiction at play here: that while money is thrown at busted flushes like Myers et al ... Netflix suddenly laid off a bunch of staff from its "tudum" blog; all part, presumably, of cost-cutting after their stocks took a plummet. The next 12 months will be fascinating 'cos I'm wondering if their easy-breezy attitudes to greenlighting anything & everything may come to a halt.

Yeah looks like uncertain times for netflix. As previous posters have said its harder for them to get good content added and their own stuff is very hit and miss. Gona watch last episodes of Ozark here then cancel my sub.
