| Gone now is The Office, Parks and Rec, Gossip Girl, Mad Men. Will this finally bring Netflix down? |

| No, I’ve found most of their new stuff is good. Not just background shows like you named. |

Are you kidding, I find so much of Netflix Originals as pure high concept drek. |

| Hulu has similar stuff like Brooklyn 99. Also, new girl gets better over time. |

I've noticed this trend for a while. Last month they got rid of West Wing and Hart of Dixie, and those weren't the first shows I liked which disappeared.
While I do like some of Netflix's original shows, a lot of them have no appeal. Worse, the ones I like seem to end up cancelled. I'm finding Hulu to be more in line with my tastes for entertainment. |

| Nope, the only one of those shows I watch is Mad Men and there is so much other content I like, including their originals. I watch Netflix the most out of my streaming services. Plus T-Mobile pays for it, so I’m never getting rid of it. 😉 |

The losses are probably not that much under Netflix's control. As other media companies that own the content start their own streaming services, they are pulling it from other services. NBC, Disney, CBS, HBO, etc. own most of the shows that have been pulled from Netflix, and they are now exclusively available on their own "home" streaming services.
I still watch Netflix the most. I watch a lot of British, Korean, and other international programs, which are excellent. |

| I don't think it will bring them down, but it is a little frustrating. I'm more irritated that they cancel so many decent shows after one or two seasons. Sometimes it takes time to build of momentum and for people to realize an under the radar show is actually very good. |

| No, because they have more subscribers than just you. |

Love this show. I think they were filming season 3 before the pandemic hit. I was hoping it was just delayed, but I looked it up because of your post and see it's now been cancelled. Boo. |

NP. The bold above is correct. Not sure why people get so peeved with Netflix for "losing" shows when the issue is other companies taking the shows away. Of course Netflix would probably have preferred, for instance, to keep the very popular "The Office" and "Parks and Rec" on Netflix. But both shows belong to NBC, which naturally pulled them back and put them on NBC's own new Peacock streaming. Netflix isn't booting stuff so much as seeing stuff get yanked. OP, you can see "Parks and Rec" for free on Peacock. They're streaming all seasons on their "free with commercials" version. "The Office" -- you can see the first two seasons on Peacock for free with commercials, but later seasons and special features are accessible only on the paid version of Peacock. Just FYI. I have the free version of Peacock because I don't mind the commercials and don't want to pay for yet another streaming service. A tip: I don't know about the half-hour sitcoms, but in the hour-long programs (really 40 minutes), the commercials get fewer and shorter as the show progresses, I find. |

| Isnt Mad Men available on Prime now? That is a bummer that they got rid of West Wing though, had been thinking about rewatching. |
