Netflix is dead. their content quality is already "daytime cable tv" quality. and this proves they have no good product people anymore.

Maybe you watched Fuller House or something?

Try Ozark, Atypical, Stranger Things.

I can't call those daytime cable tv quality.

(And just to clarify I actually like Fuller House but I can see someone watching just that - and without of context of Full House - and getting that reaction)

Really? The only real contender to Netflix content is HBO. I have yet to find a new relevant TV shows to watch which is not from Netflix or HBO.

USA Network used to have some pretty good stuff. Some of it turned very repetitive (Burn Notice, Suits, ...) because they don't know when to end series, but they did produce some really high quality series, especially if you're willing to look past the repetitiveness.

I don't know where their quality is at, nowadays. HBO is just leagues ahead of everything else.

I love Netflix because a lot of their shows are translated in multiple languages. It's a lot more palatable for me to allow the kids 20m more if it's "en français".

2nd language learners greatly benefit from translated content. Sometimes we even discuss how the content was translated a bit differently from the original...

Re:Netflix to let viewers pick how TV episodes and movies wi... by gcb0 on Tuesday October 02, 2018 @01:20PM (#18123673)
but the translations on those cases are always weird.

for example, even for their own content they have dumb rules such as having french subtitled and french dubbing, but unless you're in France you won't have the option of french closed caption (I.e getting the french text for what is actually being spoken in the french dubbing)

You might not be part of their target audience!

More and more people I talk to aren't part of their target audience.

That's still confirmation bias.
