Doesn’t mean anything with Netflix, Mindhunter was superb but they canned that, was listening to
which I’ve just found it’s great for insights into the entertainment industry and Richard Osman on one episode delves into how Netflix are now run trying to maximise profits and spend less on original programming and buying up older things cheap and people are watching them instead. Highly recommend the podcast by the way, I’m making my way through the back catalogue at the moment.

Yeah, I've seen Osman recently talking about Hollywood, but can't remember how I picked it up! Good find, though, thanks!

Going back a touch, I think Netflix has realised it need s a way making themselves profitable and not just on paper, which is why the subscription model has changed everywhere. The content strategy is another venue, but they're still way ahead of rivals like Disney, anyway. I think, though, 'Mindhunter' was an early error in ending and it didn't help that director David Fincher moved on, mentally, from doing any more.

Had he have indicated to continue Netflix would have backed him, but they should have carried on with other interesting visionary directors.

Anyone watching Fallout? Genuinely excellent adaptation. It's the first time I've seen them do a videogame well.

Yes, only two episodes in but really enjoying it. They've released a next gen update for fallout 4 too now to coincide, may be tempted to drop back in.

Wife wants to watch that baby reindeer thing, but have heard it is possibly also a bit much.
 
Just started on the Sandman spin off on netflix, The dead boy detectives.

Watchable and decent enough for passing the time

For those who haven't seen it, Dopesick starting on BBC 2 tonight.
1st 2 episodes. Starting at 11.30ish, I think.

It’s an exceptional drama. Although the subject matter (the OxyContin scandal) may not have wide appeal, I think it’s one of the best series in recent years, right up there with David Simon’s best work.

I also had no idea that Michael Keaton was such a good actor.

Drama but based on a true story.

I know you're into the Walter presents shows.
" The Team" is good.
2 series , not connected , with different actors in each series
The second series is better than the first, in my opinion.
