Best shows on Netflix?

[Irish#1]

I really like Barry.

Jump from humor to darkness to the human emotions. Adar is an underrated actor IMO.

 

[connor_in]

Not Netflix, but watched the start of Season 2 of Barry. If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it. Getting rave reviews.

They expanded it from the skit?

No. It’s a dark comedy.

Did everyone catch the Disney+ launch last night?

$6.99 per month or $69.99 per year

- Entire MCU (thought not all at launch due to existing distribution deals)
- New live action MCU shows including "WandaVision" and "Falcon and Winter Soldier." Unlike the Netflix series, these will actually matter to the MCU
- Entire Star Wars saga, including a new season of The Clone Wars
- New Star Wars live action series, including "The Mandalorian," which is available at launch
- Entire Pixar and Disney animation libraries

Launch is November 12.

Probably gonna drop Netflix, and pick up Disney+ and the cheap version of Hulu.




Might still decide to backtrack and avoid Disney+ based on the absolutely horrendous "WandaVision" name, tho.

Netflix has too much original content to drop for the Disney one... maybe when Disney will have a better selection it will be worth it

"Rewatchability" is high on my list... Disney+ is probably a better investment, considering my son will watch any number of Disney/Pixar films over and over and over and over. I'll get my money's worth over the first three months just on the fact that he can watch 'Moana' whenever he wants.

And I can watch the MCU and Star Wars films on a loop over the course of the year, and then restart the next year lol.

 

[Luckylucci]

I'd like to see Disney do a some sort of package deal with Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+

Watched Cocaine Island on Netflix, had no idea that really happened. Worth the watch if you don't know about the story.

I think it's going to be a huge hit with parents for this reason right here.

I have a ton of Disney stuff on blu ray/dvd... most comic book movies make my mind melt... I see no reason to fork over for another streaming service. BTW, at some point this is going to be a bit like the .com crash where there are simply too many services and most fail... right?? There's just too many now.

Idk, unless cable starts making a comeback (it's still king, but cord-cutters hurt them big time), I think the services all have a place.

The money that was being spent on cable is now getting spent across several services.

The bubble won't burst unless Netflix loses its entire catalog aside from its original content.

 

[ACamp1900]

I want the Joe Bob Griggs show on Shudder, Twilight Zone and AFC football on CBS All Access, History's catalog, Netflix, Mike Tyson Mysteries which seem to be pay per episode currently... YTRed for Cobra K... It' s just too much and I end up just skipping almost all of it.

Yes.

Netflix' kids content is trash. It's all PlayStation 3 cutscene-caliber animation, usually imported from overseas and re-recorded in English.

It won't be long before you'll need quite a few different streaming services to watch everything you want. Before you know it, you'll be paying about the same as cable/sat.

The problem that Netflix is going to have is that there's really no reason to keep a subscription active for any extended amount of time. They release whole seasons of shows at once, so there's nothing stopping you from subscribing just to binge the new season of Stranger Things and then immediately unsubscribing. How many honest-to-goodness "must watch" shows has Netflix had? One season of Making a Murderer and two seasons of Stranger Things. Other than that, the thing keeping people subscribed is the library, but you can only rewatch The Office and Parks and Rec so many times. Disney+ and Hulu will surpass the Netflix library in terms of quality (though not quantity) within a year of launch.

HBO is the most screwed of all. Once Game of Thrones ends, they've got nothing. At least they're smart enough to release GoT one episode at a time so it keeps people subscribed for a few months at a time at least.

Come on man.

HOC
Narcos
Lost in Space
OitNB
Ozark
Grace & Frankie
The OA
Stranger Things
Peaky Blinders
The Crown

I know there's a lot I'm forgetting.

 

[OhioIrish31]

Binge watching the hell out of House of Cards. Amazed again how a series can get you to root for bad people.

The beginning of that show is right up there with The Sopranos & Deadwood for me.

I'm not talking about "good shows," I'm talking about must-watch shows. The Stranger Things Season 3 trailer has 25 million views. Nothing else is even close. The only must-watch shows right now are Stranger Things and Game of Thrones.

Not sure how relevant that is or will be. If there are that many "good" shows, which there are, a lot of folks will continue to keep the service and just add others to it. There is a world in where both Netflix and Disney co-exist and are very successful (for consumers).

Now, from a business standpoint, Disney has a significant advantage in that they already do create a lot of content and there will be a natural progression of content that goes from the studio to the streaming service.

Yes, lots of people will keep both. I'm talking about the poors.

People with less than 4 HDMI ports?

But seriously you have no idea what quality the Disney+ shows will have. If they are anything like the marvel shows that were on ABC then that is a hard pass. As of right now Netflix is the bench mark in terms of quality with Amazon Prime coming up behind them

If the live action Star Wars shows are any good I maybe sub for a month and binge and then unsub

 

[ACamp1900]

Am I the only one who doesn't get the Disney thing?? What parent doesn't already have a bunch of Disney flicks and who can sit and watch dozens of paint by numbers comic book movies with the same exact story arcs over and over?? As of right now D+ is easily the last subscription service I'd consider.

 

[Valpodoc85]

If you have Hulu watch letterkenny. figure it out.

All true when it comes to original content. We'll have to wait and see how good it is. But Disney's entire library is going on this service. Every Pixar movie, every WDAS movie, every MCU movie, and every Star Wars movie.

Also, the original content isn't being made by TV people, it's being made by the movie people. The Mandalorian is John Favreau and Dave Filoni. Yes please.

The intersection of "people who don't like Marvel movies" and "people who buy physical DVDs" is limited to you.

 

[RDU Irish]

Why aren't they pairing Disney+ with ESPN? Charge me $15/month for that all day and I'm damn close to chopping that cord with some other supplemental programming from Hulu or something.

The main PIA is becoming the search for something to watch - I don't want to look across four platforms, I want one search function.

ACTUAL ESPN, or ESPN+?

And I thought I was the only one that noticed they just changed the characters names and outfits then released it with a new title.
