I maintain that Netflix is basically like The Cannon Group was back in the 1980’s… only, profitable. They just throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. You get some real art that way, a few okay wins, some real duds, and some absolute freaks of nature that crawl their way to the top and/or into cult status. But none of it is what typical execs would go for. Which is to say that it’s a viable economic niche in the entertainment industry, especially now that it’s bigger than ever.
They make a lot of shows now that would never have been greenlit back when all shows had to be hits. It’s possible to have a niche now.
Briefly, but it’s possible.
If it’s on Netflix, don’t expect them to finish the show.
Mindhunter and Altered Carbon my beloved. Even if I don’t like AC S2, I still like to see their world explored more.
But I guess I have the source books to read.
cause we need to pirate it.
Absolutely.
