I’m really enjoying this and surprisingly learning a lot about farming :exploding_head:

Full season available now.

I’m currently on episode 4. Learning about some of the mountains of regulations from ā€œCheerful Charlieā€ is quite an eye opener, more red tape involved than I realised.

I don’t remember if I posted at the time but ZeroZeroZero was fantastic and I keep thinking about the production of it.

Would recommend if you’re a Sopranos/Narcos.

Rick and Morty returns tonight :mega:

Goddamn. I think I see a re-watch of Boardwalk Empire or the Wire coming up :cry:

The new series of Money Heist was dropped on Netflix the other day :moneybag:

Finally started watching Sex Education, and really enjoying it.

Amazes me the sheer number of quality shows Netflix manage to pump out.

Sex Education is absolutely brilliant. Season 3 starts on Friday!

I felt season two got to a bit of a low point? I felt like they were starting to run out of sexual preferences to run through the ā€˜is this weird… no it’s normal… oh good’ mill. I hope they’ll vary the episode format up a bit more this year and focus on the main characters and plot

Do you mean new gems? Everyone’s pipeline has been hit because of the pandemic, so I guess we’ll see if there’s now an uptick. But the total number of great shows is just enormous.

And it’s not just the A plus dramas. Netflix is effectively TV in our house. The breadth is what makes it so great that there’s always something to watch (from triple A drama to reality TV, true crime, documentaries and kids cartoons).

The movie collection is also very decent these days. Lots of quality (if older) films to watch.

I imagine you’re exaggerating for effect on the one or two shows.

There’s definitely a breadth of content of varying quality but I’d argue that’s exactly the sort of long tail you need to keep the service sticky.

I don’t subscribe for Friends / How I Met Your Mother / Paw Patrol but they all definitely get watched and keep Netflix on heavy rotation.

I can only really comment on Disney+, but the amount of new original content is far from huge. We have it mainly because of the price and the animated back catalogue, which makes it a no brainer for the kids.

Apples content seems well reviewed, but again it’s small. I’d argue that Disney and Apple are the services you could easily subscribe to for one or two months and watch everything worthwhile. Obviously this will change over time as their libraries build up.

Every service is only ever going to have so much new content that specifically appeals to any one person.

Your definition of older must suffer from mine, I can hardly find any old films on there at all!

I have access to them all and more than having nothing to watch, I struggle to find what to watch.
