All the live action animes that Netflix has tried, and their attempt at Resident Evil.

Person of Interest was such a fun show to watch, it helped me go through the first months of pandemic.
While I have my gripes with the ending, that this kind of show managed to have an ending instead of just being cut short is impressive.

Eh, I think that Streaming may suffer more from a writers strike, I mean the first one is what caused the onslaught of realities like the Kardashians and Honey Boo Boo.
Cable is already a zombie anyways.

Reply to Netflix set for slowest revenue growth as ad plan struggles to gain traction. by dragonmp93
> Jan 17 (Reuters) - Netflix Inc (NFLX.O) is expected to report its slowest quarterly revenue growth on Thursday as its ad-supported plan struggles to attract customers in the saturating U.S. market, which could pressure the company to pull back on content spending this year.
> The streaming pioneer has been reeling under strained consumer spending, rising costs of financing production and increased competition from Disney+ and Amazon Prime. It had pinned its hopes on the launch of the ad-supported tier, but analysts say they have not seen a burst of subscriptions.
> The company is expected to have added 4.5 million subscribers - the lowest addition for the holiday period since 2014. It added 8.3 million subscribers a year ago.
> The $6.99 per month ad-supported plan does not have access to all titles and is not cheap enough to win over significant numbers of customers in the United States and Canada, analysts say.
> "Looking at the saturation of the market and the variety of different options available, and the fact that the pricing is not necessarily significantly below the competition, there are some challenges in attaining those subscriber targets," said Jamie Lumley, an analyst at Third Bridge.
> That is likely to draw focus on Netflix's aggressive content spending, which finance chief Spencer Neumann said in July would total about $17 billion annually for the next couple of years.
> "When debt was cheap, you could go and borrow a lot of money and invest that in content," said Shahid Khan, partner and global head of media and entertainment at Arthur D. Little.
> "Given current interest rates, Netflix will have to be very selective about green-lighting content and how they would finance it." For comparison, rival Walt Disney Co (DIS.N) expects fiscal 2023 content spend in the low $30 billion range, while Paramount Global (PARA.O) projects expenditure of below $10 billion. Disney does not break out content expenditure between streaming and its other divisions.
> CONTEXT
> Netflix had suffered hefty subscriber losses in the first six months of 2022 due to the fallout from the Russia-Ukraine conflict and a weakening economy, which forced the streaming pioneer to turn to advertising in a move it long resisted.
> It returned to subscriber growth in the third quarter, but its stock, an investor favorite during its years of rapid growth, still ended the year with a drop of more than 50%.
> The company's revenue is expected to have risen just 1.7% to $7.84 billion in the October-December quarter, according to Refinitiv. That would be the lowest since it went public in 2002.
> "As overall streaming growth flattens out, most of the more mature streaming platforms have leveled off as well," MoffettNathanson said, adding that Netflix's reach fell by 200 basis points in the quarter.
> Still, some analysts believe that the ad-supported plan will pay off in the long run, especially in developing markets, where spending power is weaker.

He is still pretty popular among the self-described centrist crowd.

Due to how this stuff works, even if the rest goes bankrupt, FOX News is still going to generate enough profit to keep going.

Yeah, what the mentalist had going for them was the same that kept Castle alive for some long, a pretty detective that wanted to strangle the titular character with her bare hands half of the time.

It would like that episode of Married with Children where Al spends the whole episode trying to remember a song.

I can't watch any show where the protagonist, good or evil, is a self-righteous hypocrite. Unless that's the entire point of the story.

Tv Tropes is pretty useful to remember where the previous season ended.

Well, if the show had remained accurate to the books, what we would have got is functionally a rematch of Cersei vs Daenerys, but this time, both have dragons.

This entire mess would have been avoided if Otto Hightower had told to his daughter to comfort Rhaenyra instead of the King.

Well, I sincerely prefer him and his two friends talking about internet videos than any of those shows that end in Shore.
Or Teen Mom and 16 & Pregnant.

Reply to What tv show writing room would you have loved/love to be a part of? by PatientBalance
The CW's Supergirl.
There is no way that a show like that came to be just because the CW doesn't have enough budget for good writing.
