>Rock is not even relevant anymore, rock/metal is dead. All the good stuff they could come up with is already released. The genre has given everything it has to offer and now we are just keeping it alive via life support. Time to unplug the machine, if the music is uninspired trash it is uninspired trash.

This is not remotely true. Rock and Metal are hugely active, and highly varied.

Reply to Testing the claim by Ted Sarandos that Netflix does not cancel "successful" shows by applying some actual numbers by [deleted]

A detail missing here are the shows varying budgets. What Netflix can be criticised for is throwing too much money, and thus expectations, at shows that are just not likely to meet it. It was obvious that Cowboy Bebop, and Resident Evil were doomed to be cancelled when they released. They were too high-budget, too risky and even a relatively positive reception wasn't likely to translate to enough watchers.

They set shows up to fail too often by doing this.

Reply to comment by ElectricPeterTork in How do you define filler? by monkeyskin

There was a Walking Dead episode purely focused around a character trying to cook food and deal with a rat, and another character crashing their motorcycle in the forest.

100% filler. It was completely pointless. It was a pandemic-influenced episode, but it was completely useless.

>Whereas the shows that endure most with audiences are reruns of The Office and Friends, shows that largely stuck to the 24 a season model that you can dip in and out of. (Disclaimer, I love The Wire.)

True, but this is more noting that older sitcoms are just sticking (and partially sucking the life out of newer sitcom potential). A 24-episode procedural format works much more effectively for sitcoms that often function as semi-background noise.

That isn't really directly competing or scratching the same itch as shows like Dark, or The Wire, or Game of Thrones.

Babylon Berlin. It's a neo-noir psychological thriller series set at the tail end of the Weimar Republic. It deals with the looming emergence of Nazis and the breakdown of Weimar democracy. Art Deco, Gangsters, Dance choreography and decadence

The advertising for it to Americans is shocking. S4 isn't even legally available there yet.
