Be interested to hear what Netflix has to say at their next investor conference call on what metrics they are using to tighten up their shows, whether its pure audience/sub metrics or if costs are starting to play a big part. Do they have a pretty good idea now on what kind of things a new show needs to hit the ground running well? By now they will have absolutely insane data on cast, content type, episode lengths, number of episodes, laughs/surprises/etc per episode, thumbnails, how long someone will stick with something before drifting away, etc.
Many of the newer netflix shows I have zero interest in, I do enjoy Altered Carbon but was kinda surprised it got a renewal given how expensive it must be. Wonder how things like Lucifer, Altered Carbon, Lost in Space will fare. Are those shows doing better than their newer stuff like Russian Doll?
