[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG -- this is what a good streaming network should be.

None of the 50% of crap currently clogging up Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime. Just high-quality, high-budget films and TV shows.

I feel like half of Netflix these days is Bollywood/Nollywood/Korean dramas no one asked for. Amazon Prime has all these random indie films on shoe-string budgets that they don't warn you about. Hulu is just weird.

Thank you Disney. Thank you so much.[/quote]

Ugh I know!  I hate watching people of color on TV.  Where my white and animated characters at?[/quote]

This was already discussed on page one. I love tv shows with quality casts and good production budgets. Don't serve me a heaping of junk food I didn't ask for and expect me to rate it 5 stars. Netflix isn't free.

If they had good diverse content added every week then I would watch. Why don't they have any of the seasons of Black-ish, Fresh Off The Boat, Queen Sugar, Being Mary Jane, Devious Maids, Power. It doesn't even have to be new! They budgeted $100 million dollars each to buy the rights to Friends and The Office. Where is Living Single or The Fresh Prince of Bel Air?

Not to mention box office successes and diverse movies like Moonlight, Crazy Rich Asians, any of Tyler Perry's collection, Hidden Figures, Us, Ocean's 8, Get Out, 12 Years A Slave, Dora and the Lost City of Gold, Glass, Angel Has Fallen, Pacific Rim Uprising

I'm tired of them charging $10-$13 but not bring any of the brand-new and box office success movies or tv programs, then acting like subbing in foreign flicks will cover it. They used to be the best place to get all the good content.[/quote]

Did it ever occur to you that perhaps you aren't getting diverse content because you don't watch diverse shows?  You know algorithms and all that.

Ever heard of "On My Block" or "Dear White People"? [b] Or Ali Wong?  Or Kevin Hart, or Russell Peters or Mike Epps or Ken Jeong?  [/b]All on Netflix, all American or Canadian.  [/quote]

You just listed a bunch of comedy shows which is not the same thing as a scripted television series (some of which I've watched) and Netflix original content. Their original content is diverse which I love. [b]But Netflix was originally started to give subscribers a way to watch premium shows and movies from a broad array of networks without signing up for cable. [/b]

They are completely slacking on that aspect. I do believe Netflix has the problem that plagued Hollywood pre-Black Panther. The notion that 'we can't cast or make all POC productions because they don't sell'. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy. In this case they aren't buying all these other property contents that are there for the taking for the same reason.

As for the algorithms, all you have to do is search netflix by added content and you'll see the breakdown I mention. Not hard if you're not relying just on them to tell you what you'd like.[/quote]

Yes, originally, but that has shifted.  You can choose not to subscribe if you don't like what they have evolved into.  I personally like that I can watch "On My Block" and "Master of None" ... both shows that are unique and not found elsewhere.  If you want more mainstream shows, go to Hulu.[/quote]
