I haven't had any problems with sound while watching on my PS4.
Watched the original Pete's Dragon this morning, it was fun, with some great songs, and a nice story. The stuff with Elliot was pretty impressive for 1977, some of the sequences must have been pretty complicated to set up.

If you can't come up with enough story for 8 hour long episodes, maybe you don't actually have a TV show...

I take it you haven't watched HBO's Barry then

Even the great HBO goes anti consumer sometimes. Doesn't mean we have to be happy about it.

 

[Marsden]

Does anyone know if the content will be no longer available or can someone join say next yearish and all of the released episodes will still be there?

I didn't mean it in a bad way. Barry is actually a really good show that is also eight episodes of 30-ish minutes.

I call that a SCAM. Should've been a 4 hour miniseries.

A scam is, by definition, dishonesty and usually involves fraud. If you truly believe that then I believe that some government agencies would be interested in hearing that allegation.

Not enough regulation, so the government won't save us here.

If it was falsely advertised and you believe you were defrauded then the government at least needs to be made aware. They have a whole division for that.

I would assume the content will be there as long as the Sun burns in our sky or when Disney crumbles, which ever happens first.

Barry’s a really good drama and the story actually fits the episode length. We’ve long since moved from actually having set lengths for our stories based on antiquated network time slots. Perhaps you could stop the hyperbolic drama and be open to the changes that are happening. You can join the here and now or live in the past. Choice is yours. But I assure you, in the streaming age, there will be no length minimum or maximum. You may have a 81 minute episode followed by a 36 minute episode. Length will be based what the story requires. And that’s a good thing.

Yes, finally. No padding to episodes. I can't tell you how much they can stick out to me now.

Just do what the story needs; no more, no less.

How about, tell a story that gives the viewers their money's worth. I am sure you people will be super happy with 5 minute episodes soon.

If it is well done, then yes, yes I would be happy. It's about quality of story, not quantity of time.

The worth is in the story told and how it's told not it's length.

THIS. There have been some chunks of netflix shows that are clearly padded out to make an hour.
I want bang for my buck, not empty calories to fill some antiquated idea of how long a show should be.

All of this and then some.

Exactly. Quality matters much more than quantity. It's like going to a French gourmet restaurant and complaining about portion size!

You've never complained about having to go to McDonalds after your $150+ meal?

 

[fireproof78]

No, I have not. There is a difference between McDonald's and French haut cuisine, and its not because of portion size.
