Netflix has licensing agreements with content that they don’t own.
Those agreements are generally for very short periods of time and not in perpetuity. Their agreement with Disney ends in 2019 so be sure to watch all of their content (Disney, Pixar, Lucasfilm, Marvel) while it’s available. |

I had no idea what was going on with it, but I figured it was something like that. Do you expect the Netflix original stuff to continue to accelerate? |

Sure their original content will continue to grow. Most of it is very well received and there are no expensive contracts after it's produced. It's theirs. Other shows get rotated in and out as they have a limited budget and like to change up the catalog every once in a while to keep it fresh. I've seen shows leave and come back three times... If they weren't watched, some never come back. You also have things like Disney, who is releasing their own streaming service and pull all their stuff from Netflix.

I mean, I guess it shouldn't have been too difficult to figure out...a simple google search would have accomplished things. I was pretty pouty for a while when I found out about Wonder Years and Malcolm which prompted me to create this thread. |

I recommend giving the netflix originals more of a chance, I haven't watched one series that I haven't liked. Also, if you only watch the same shows over and over again than netflix is the wrong service for you. You should branch out and try different things.

I was just commenting on this to my wife last night. we sat down and tried to find something to watch yesterday evening. my god...it's really 95% old movies and a ton of shit you've never heard of. Just, obscure and random movies I would categorize as B movies.
I still dig the documentary side, and the stand up comedy side of things on Netflix, but in terms of finding a 'newer' movie that might have been in an actual movie theater in the last two years.....forget it. and we've had Netflix since around 2003-2004. back in the day, you could log in and click a TON of recent movies in your queue that had recently just been in theaters. Now, it's largely just random garbage. Thinking about dumping them and maybe getting Hulu instead, or just get redbox movies here and there.

I try to mix it up. There are just "go-to" shows I like to watch when I go to bed or just want something familiar on because I am preoccupied with something else. I've watched a ton of TV series in their entirety. My favorites tend to be HBO shows. I will say this, though... the past few years I've had a difficult time getting into new shows or movies. This seemed to start happening when I began working 3rd shift 3 years ago. I hate it. I hate 3rd shift. Always tired. |

I do love the comedy specials on Netflix. Norm, Chapelle, Hart, Gaffigan, Bo Burnham... I'll probably be pretty pissy when they take those down. |

I agree on the movie part of it, there really isn't that many good ones on here to watch. I also do the same thing with familiar shows, mine are Family Guy and Futurama |

Netflix has some pretty good original programs. You know you want to watch Fuller House LOL...god help humanity. But really, there are a bunch of good series on there.

It kills me when they take shit off. More for my kids than for me.
And I'd say that 75% of Netflix is filled with shit. Dumb ****ing 1 star movies. |
