It is now home to several shows that fit this bill.
Sometimes things aren’t working until they suddenly start working.Īnd, I mean, Netflix should know this. Even if your data tells you it isn’t working. Even if it seemingly isn’t working at first. My recommendation to Netflix would be this: some content takes time to find an audience.¹ Sometimes you need to let it breathe a bit. I’m currently more likely to commit to an HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, or Apple TV+ show which I bet will get more of a commitment from their service. Worse, for us and for Netflix, it leads us to not put a lot of faith in the service or their programming.
INFINITY NAILS ARCHIVE
Not to mention that it canceled Archive 81 - and yes, I’m still mad about it - which was actually one of the few shows I enjoyed watching on Netflix. Although I’m (admittedly) spoiled and get to mooch off a shared Netflix subscription, I don’t find myself watching it that much anymore due to its selection of shows and movies, some of which I can just as easily find on other services I subscribe to, like Hulu and Peacock. Here at The Verge, a number of my colleagues who’ve been with Netflix for years have already given up their Netflix subscriptions or are at least considering it. It’s annoying.Ī couple months ago, in noting a survey suggesting Netflix was losing some long-term subscribers, Emma Roth wrote:
INFINITY NAILS FULL
But Netflix changed things up by committing to full seasons of content ahead of time to feed their binge beasts, getting some people hooked on content that wouldn’t be long for this world. In some ways, that’s more generous than the old way of doing things: if a pilot didn’t work on a network, or an early run didn’t take off, a show wasn’t picked up. Netflix famously would give shows two seasons to find an audience and if not: sorry. There are many other shows in this boat, of course. In the olden days of TV, you knew your show was coming back each year. Even if one of them shows up again eventually, we need some consistency from the schedule. And both have now vanished ever so quietly into the night. Both are (or were) listed as Netflix Series.
I’m skeptical.īoth of these shows are a bit unique in that Netflix partnered with other content producers to either make or acquire the content. Netflix is still touting it on their service (at least to me) but no mention of if and when new content is coming. This show also ran for two seasons, from 2020 to 2021. Recently, the show was entirely removed from Netflix.Īnother such show: Restaurants on the Edge. After the second season aired, it never came back on. This home architecture porn-y design show ran on Netflix from 2017 to 2018. To me, the show which most epitomizes this is The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes. Not even gone, necessarily - though in some cases, see also: below - but just in a weird state of hibernation. Not because there’s not enough content - there’s arguably way too much content, which creates a sort of hyper acute paradox of choice - but because there are so many shows which I’ve started on Netflix over the years which are now dormant.
Week after week I now load up Netflix and I’m sad. And that is: actually commit to their content. But there’s something else rather obvious and simple that I think Netflix could do in the short term to fix some of what ails them. And why delving too far into “meh” content was likely a risk - spoiler: it was. They seem to be one of those “one step ahead” companies - one which from time-to-time misses a step and everyone freaks out because it’s so abnormal.Īnyway, I’ve previously talked about why I don’t think gaming is their solution - at least not fully nor any time soon. While Netflix may be flailing a bit at the moment, I have a good amount of faith that they’ll figure it out.
