Netflix is not a studio; it is a recommendation engine with a budget. Its deep flaw is the âGreenlight by Dataâ model. Because Netflix knows you liked Red Notice , it will produce Red Notice 2 , Gray Notice , and Lukewarm Notice . The result is the âNetflix Midââfilms that are 2 hours long but feel like 4, with casts of A-listers reading dialogue written by a committee of statisticians. Its strength? Variety. Netflix will produce a Polish period drama, a Korean sci-fi, and a stand-up special in the same hour. The review: Netflix is the fast fashion of entertainmentâcheap for the consumer, expensive for the soul, and destined for the landfill of your âContinue Watchingâ queue.
