There won't be enough studios to do larger budget projects, so we'll get more of the same stuff. Variety will continue to drop.
News Netflix to buy Warner Brothers
- Thread starter the G-man
- Start date
Yeah, there's always the risk of that, which leads to less choices in the industry on where to shop scripts around. In Canada, most domestic productions are via independent companies.
A24 currently has a distribution deal with HBO MAX. Hopefully, they can continue to do diverse independent films once Netflix buy HBO MAX.
I enjoy programming on BritBox since it differs from what I can find on other streaming services.
I'm tempted to get a Criterion Channel sub this year.
Right now, to find variety, I'm watching older programming.
^ Yeah, we need more exposure to indie movies, not less. Tubi has some pretty good indie movies, especially if they're older ones not on any other services.
And to add to this latest round of insanity, now Trump is personally calling on Netflix to fire one of its board members for being left-leaning and speaking out against him. Another way of trying to control the outcome.
Trump has made this way too political.

Rice argued during a podcast last week that "it is not going to end well" for corporations, news organizations, and law firms that "bent the knee" to Trump.

Yeah, same here. It's gone on long enough. Wouldn't be surprised if Netflix renegs and decides to take their ball and go home.
If you mean by standing up to Trump. I read earlier that he bought shares in Netflix. This is all part of an agenda in trying to get more control of the company in order to make the deal with Paramount. Besides, this shouldn't at all be a political move, rather a business move, but he's long made it political.
Yeah, I've noticed some Netflix stuff appearing on Tubi now.
I think the way they labeled Netflix Originals was horribly confusing, for one thing. It really was a two-tier thing. One tier involved things that actually were produced for Netflix, such as Orange is the New Black and House of Cards or that Netflix had purchased to continue their runs, Hell on Wheels, Longmire, and Cobra Kai being good examples of this. A second tier involved foreign TV shows and movies that they licensed for their platform and also labeled as Netflix Originals. The problem is they lumped everything together and never distinguished the differences, which is why most "Netflix Originals" vary so much in quality. What they should have done is with their true bunch of originals was brand them as Netflix Legacy or something to that effect, and the other acquired stuff as Netflix Exclusive, which can be exclusive to certain markets. Which is why the recent decision to remove the "Originals" moniker didn't make much sense.

All the foreign shows and movies are produced for Netflix. So they are essentially original content. Labeling them as 'Netflix exclusive' makes sense, but all those foreign shows and movies need to continue being streamed worldwide. Netflix's foreign shows like Money Heist and Squid Game, or Netflix's foreign movies like Troll and Under Paris, became popular globally thanks to this. And they became Netflix's most-watched content. Beyond that, the Netflix Original brand still exists; it just doesn't appear in the on-screen tiles anymore.
Addendum: I later understood that you're saying that whether it's American or foreign content, if it's truly produced for Netflix, it should be called a Netflix original. If it's acquired by another platform or TV channel and will be broadcast worldwide exclusively on Netflix, it should be called a Netflix exclusive. That makes sense. So, what should live events be called?

Yeah, admittedly, there's a small portion of foreign shows that are made for their foreign markets that eventually get marketed to a wider market, so that's fair, and those would be counted under a Legacy branding, as it makes sense seeing as Netflix is a global audience. This also puts Netflix in having one of the most unique advantages of any service, in having so vast an array of foreign content. I seem to remember Money Heist was one those firsts and it was quite popular. But's not always the case for what would be considered foreign shows on the service, as you'll see below. But yes, you get my gist 
I just think they could have done a better job to brand the content.
Here's where it gets confusing, some TV shows get to be claimed as Netflix originals simply because they've bought exclusive rights for those shows in specific markets. Anne with an E, , North of North, and Schitt's Creek , and Heartland, are all popular examples from Canada, shows that all originally aired on their respective Canadian networks. They are popular in the global market , but they were not produced for Netflix. So, not all foreign shows on the service are produced for them, and I doubt they're the only ones. And in that sense lumping them into the same branding seems a little misleading. It gives off the impression that Netflix got them produced.
I think live events should be called Netflix Live.

@Owain Taggart Meanwhile, Disney Plus also produces foreign series and films outside of the US. However, it first releases these foreign series and films in their home countries, then releases them globally a few months later. Also, in the US, these are released on Hulu, not Disney Plus.
Furthermore, whether foreign content is released on Disney Plus in other countries depends on the global Disney Plus and local teams. They don't release it in every country; for example, content produced for Turkey is released in the regions where Turkish content is most watched. In the US, all foreign content is released directly on Hulu.

Oh, believe me, I know how complicated the rights for content can be, and Canada is a mess and a half when it comes to that and it can be quite difficult to find the right information for where something can be found.
The governors of eleven Republican states have sent a letter to the Attorney General urging the administration to step in and block the sale and force a deal with Paramount.
Gods, what a fucking mess.
Yeah, they love anything if it agrees with their plans, then show disdain for the same exact things the moment it goes against them. If the other side of the aisle would be trying the same thing, they'd be all up in arms about it whining about how unfair it all is.
