I dont understand Netflix giving the Duffer Bros a multi year deal, Era told me Netflix was dead soon.
I don't recall people saying Netflix would be dead soon. I remember someone asking recently when the stock was over $300 if they should buy and I advised against it. Stock is currently $266, down 31% since July and at a 9-month low.I dont understand Netflix giving the Duffer Bros a multi year deal, Era told me Netflix was dead soon.
Era may have told you, but Era didn't tell Netflix that it's already dead
Adapted from the Vertigo imprint published and Brian Wood written comic of a second American Civil War in the near future, the A Wrinkle in Time helmer will direct the project with showrunner and EP Roberto Patino writing. Prophetically well timed if yesterday's tweetstorm by Donald Trump is any roadmap, the Manhattan set DMZ will be produced by DuVernay's ARRAY Filmworks in association with Warner Bros. Television.
Julia Goldani Telles (The Affair) will star in the anthology from Steven Soderbergh based on his 2009 movie, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. She will play Iris, a young neuroscientist who gets drawn into the transactional world of the Girlfriend Experience, only to be drawn deep into the uncanny valley with the relationships she creates.
The London tech scene forms the backdrop to the season, and Iris learns her client sessions give her an edge in the tech world, and vice versa — until she begins to question whether her actions are driven by free will or something else altogether.
Anja Marquardt (She's Lost Control) is writing and directing the third season and is a co-executive producer. Soderbergh, Philip Fleishman and Jeff Cuban executive produce.
Finals from yesterday are expected around 2pm EST. I'll post those and Fridays as well.G_Shumi Do we have finals from yesterday or is that expected to be later today?
Cool. Thanks!Finals from yesterday are expected around 2pm EST. I'll post those and Fridays as well.
I thought they renewed it for seasons 2, 3 and 4 all at once, and they filmed seasons 3 and 4 back to back while the kids were still young. Was I imagining that?...

Probably referring to my comments from a while back (at least primarily). I said Netflix was past its peak and that with all of the studios launching their own streaming services with their own original content and extensive libraries (which takes away from Netflix's), eventually Netflix is going to die. I didn't say I expected it to happen soon though/in the next couple of years. Just that the competitors marked the beginning of the end for them. Which I still stand by, and the stock drop represents, because I can't see how Netflix survives purely on its originals once it comes to that.I don't recall people saying Netflix would be dead soon.

Personally, I don't think the Duffers are some great get for Netflix. All they've proven they can do is pastiche other works and exploit 80s nostalgia. There's also the whole situation where it's very possible they stole the original idea for Stranger Things from someone else. I'd be happy to be proved wrong if they deliver something great and original in the future, I'm a pit pessimistic though given how both season 2 and 3 of Stranger Things were lacking in quality compared to the first one -- and there's still little originality to be seen in any of it.
I hope that was just hyperbole. Obviously the company will be around for the foreseeable future. I expected to see stock price pressure and earnings pressure leading up to Disney+ launch at least. Even after this big drop it's still trading at 47x next years estimates which is quite high if growth is under pressure.actually i was referring to the various derp "disney + will kill netflix" OT comments in various threads, not anything in this one.
Monday night's ratings. CBS's "Bob Hearts Abishola" dropped 0.2 from last week, while everything else pretty much retained their ratings:
I didn't see the edit! ;)
AMC has given series greenlight to courtroom drama thriller 61st Street, from BAFTA-winner Peter Moffat (Criminal Justice, The Night Of, Your Honor) and executive producer Michael B. Jordan (David Makes Man) and Kevin Can F**k Himself, from creator Valerie Armstrong (Lodge 49) and executive producers Rashida Jones and Will McCormack (Claws), I have learned. Both series are produced by AMC Studios. AMC declined comment.
61st Street and Kevin Can F**k Himself were developed under AMC's "scripts-to-series" model, which employs the opening of a writers' rooms to develop and produce multiple scripts for a potential series which, in success, leads to a straight-to-series order. 61st Street and Kevin Can F**k Himself were two of three projects AMC commissioned writers rooms for in November 2018 – February 2019. The third, Rainy Day People, is not going forward, I hear.
61st Street follows Moses Johnson, a promising, black high school athlete, who is swept up into the infamously corrupt Chicago criminal justice system. Taken by the police as a supposed gang member, he finds himself in the eye of the storm as police and prosecutors seek revenge for the death of an officer during a drug bust gone wrong. Timely and provocative, 61st Street is set against the systemic abuse happening in some of our country's most vulnerable communities.
Moffat serves as showrunner and executive producer. Michael B. Jordan and Alana Mayo executive produce for Outlier Society, and Hilary Salmon for BBC Studios.
Kevin Can F**k Himself, probes the secret life of a type of woman we all grew up believing we knew: the sitcom wife. It looks to break television convention and ask what the world looks like through her eyes. Alternating between single-camera realism and multi-camera comedy, the formats will inform one another as we imagine what happens when the sitcom wife escapes her confines, and is full of rage.
Craig DiGregorio (Shrill, Kevin (Probably) Saves the World) serves as showrunner and executive producer. Rashida Jones and Will McCormack executive produce through Le Train Train.
I think Netflix's most direct/dangerous competitor is actually HBO Max. They have a huge film and television library and are going for the same very wide scattershot of types of shows they're doing, like Netflix, but at a (likely) general higher quality standard and budget.I was just over in the Disney + Netherlands thread and I'm seeing exactly what I expected. The service is great for supplemental use but until they start adding a lot of original content it's not going to compete with Netflix. You can only watch 90's X-Men or the Simpsons so many times to justify the cost. Once more movies and OG content hits in the next couple of years I suspect the cost perception will balance out a little but it's never going to directly compete with Netflix and all the takes thinking it will are wrong
But that leads me into what I suspect will be Netflix's more direct competition: Hulu. Do we have any idea when they're going to start adding the Fox content or Disney produced adult fare? I've seen a million articles on plus but only ever peeps about what's going to happen with Hulu
Excited about "Kevin Can Fuck Himself". It seems like something pretty unique.
There may be a lot of families who are currently with Netflix who'll be signing up for Disney+ for the kids, then saving money by choosing to do without Netflix, or being more selective like 1 month here and there instead of being active all year.I think Netflix's most direct/dangerous competitor is actually HBO Max.

I agree Disney+ is more like a side-competitor rather than a direct one. You either like their brand stuff (Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Disney proper) or don't. And most of their original content is going to be falling within that brand. The fact that it's quite a bit cheaper though could mean people subbing to it along with one of the other competitors could displace them from having Netflix. At least initially I expect people who get Disney+ will still maintain their Netflix account also.
Hulu is a bit more of an uncertainty in all regards because I don't think even Disney has decided exactly what they want to do with it. In the near term it's obviously going to get the more "adult" FOX library, but in terms of original content they've never been especially strong, and that doesn't seem to be changing any time super soon.
Sure, I think that some people will potentially do that. I don't think anyone regularly wanting a ton of new original content is going to be subbing solely to Disney+ though, because they just wouldn't be getting it.There may be a lot of families who are currently with Netflix who'll be signing up for Disney+ for the kids, then saving money by choosing to do without Netflix, or being more selective like 1 month here and there instead of being active all year.
Fuck yes, glad they got another another season. Four seasons is fine for a show like this.

It's another reason why people are fleeing networks. Streaming services essentially guarantee a second season at least, unless there's literally 5 people watching. You just can't get invested in a show that might not even finish its first run.*clears space on DVR*
I remember when I used to get excited about all the new TV shows. Now why bother?
I agree that Max is probably their biggest existential threat at this point. Although I do wish Disney would get on the ball with Hulu. They already have a huge catalog of older TV and movies that I would kill to see on Hulu right now and that I'm sure are too mature to end up on plus. It's just sitting there waiting to be capitalized on and they're not doing a thingI think Netflix's most direct/dangerous competitor is actually HBO Max.
