The Netflix Thread 2

I haven't looked at the spoiler bit as i've still 2 episodes left

[Outrunner]

Reading back, I think I phrased it wrong. I didn't so much have an issue with what I put in the spoiler, more it was unexpected and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of it

I will literally never be over this show’s cancellation.

[Vermilion]

Kiryu-chan's not impressed.

[Return_of_the_STAR]

I'm still very annoyed about glows cancellation especially as they had filmed two episodes and written the rest of the season. Also the fact that it was COVID that lead to it's cancellation.

[Imrahil]

Netflix gonna Netflix. Covid was cited as one of the causes but they could have easily picked it up and continued with it if they really wanted to.

Show creators must be permanently on edge producing stuff for them.

The subtitle options for foreign shows seems to only now give CC options (which I find very annoying)- has anyone else found this?

I don't know why I found it annoying compared to normal subtitles, but it makes stuff unwatchable for me.

Why does Netflix make it so difficult to see which films are going to be removed soon?

Maybe I'm missing something, but whether on my PS4 or PC, I have to go into each film or TV programme individually to see if there's a warning about it being removed soon. It used to - on the PS4, at least - be on the main title card, so you could scan through your list reasonably quickly and see any with a warning on. Now it's buried within each item, and it's so tedious.

Is there a simpler way?

I don't know how accurate it is, but this website seems to show what's leaving.

Aw yis.

I've cancelled my Disney+ and returned to Netflix. Felt like time for a change!

I've started watching Breaking Bad again (right from the start) and Good Will Hunting (an ace film).

Time for a change - watches something he's already seen.

[Vermilion]

Currently watching a show called The Irregulars, reminds me a bit of Lockwood & Co with the British supernatural themed stuff going on, and it's all the better for it.

No idea if anyone else here has seen it, i didn't even know it existed until i stumbled across it randomly.

You're welcome.

Nobody knows action like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

And nobody hits like Netflix.

That’s why we’ve appointed Arnold as our new Chief Action Officer.

So whether it’s The Night Agent, The Mother, FUBAR, Extraction 2, The Witcher, Heart of Stone, The Brothers Sun, Lift, or a wide variety of other must-watch films and series, he’s working around the clock to bring you the biggest action on earth.

And don’t miss Arnold’s new action comedy FUBAR, only on Netflix May 25.

Netflix has threatened to preemptively remove films and TV shows from its UK library to avoid falling foul of new streamer regulations being introduced by the British government.

Ministers in the UK want media regulator Ofcom to police streaming giants in a similar way to traditional broadcasters, meaning the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime Video could be fined up to £250,000 ($310,000) for carrying harmful content.

In a submission to UK Parliament’s Culture, Media and Sport Committee, Netflix took a swipe at plans to introduce “due impartiality” rules for streamers under the Media Bill, calling draft legislation “nebulous” and potentially “onerous” for services to enforce.

The Media Bill states that major streamers must consider impartiality in the context of contemporary events, pointing specifically to “current public policy” and matters of “political or industrial controversy.”

Netflix said that staying on the right side of this rule would require it to keep its giant catalog of content under continual review, ensuring that it is “purging titles on a regular basis” regardless of when a show or film premiered.

“The range and variety of Netflix’s content, generally considered a strength of our offering in terms of maximising choice for British viewers, could equally become a potential source of risk from a compliance perspective if it fell within Ofcom’s remit,” Netflix said.

“Without considerably greater clarity around the scope and application of these provisions, it would inevitably be easier to remove content pre-emptively from our UK catalogue than risk an onerous compliance burden and potential liability.”

Disney made the same argument in its four-page missive to the Culture, Media, and Sport Committee. The U.S. media giant said the audience protection measures it puts in place on Disney+, such as age ratings, means it is not proportionate to introduce blanket streaming regulation.

Disney said: “Given the differences between linear broadcasting and VoD , the robust audience protection measures put in place by most VoD services, the varying consumer propositions and brand promises made by different VoD services, it seems inappropriate to apply uniform rules on all VoD services, whether that is strict content rules or mandated ratings.”

So when they say "harmful content", what they mean is content that is harmful to the Conservatives.

Instead of wasting public resources drafting new bills to protect yourselves, maybe just stop being such a bunch of crooked, self-serving arseholes.

It's hilarious that they think Netflix "must consider impartiality", while GB News is free to broadcast.
