The quality on Netflix doesn't even matter because it just auto selects them. You can't change it manually. So sometimes you just have to watch your show all blurry and wait until it randomly changed back to hd.
CZcams also doesn't let you pick a quality to always be on, you can pick the quality video you want but it will lower the quality by itself anyway. Both of the websites are too dated for how much money they get.
but they kinda do tho? In settings there’s something called Video Quality Preference that allows you to choose if you want High quality or data saver (low quality). You can’t really pick which one you want EXACTLY but if you have the high quality setting on,like I do, it will try its best to give out high quality videos. Atleast from my experience
@@babyyodar3426 that's literally not true. If you click the cog wheel on the video, there's a section dedicated to quality, where you can pick auto, high quality auto, data saver auto, and exact resolution
@@babyyodar3426 if your on mobile just select advanced then you can pick what you want
@@babyyodar3426 you can indeed pick it my guy.
The fact that you have to pay extra for even 720p should be a war crime
Absolutely. That's bare minimum for a paid streaming service.
I was so pissed when they did that.
Agreed. Nowadays the modern resolution is like 1080p and above. including 4k and maybe even 5k.
480p should be free
@@jackgotgamez lol not with the U.S' shitty broadband speeds. I'd still consider 720p the norm.
I think that Arcane split the difference pretty well, releasing 3 episodes at a time, which meant you could get the feel of the binge without watching the whole season, and it allowed for this kind of a social element that you describe here.
I was thinking that Netflix has had some bangers for sure. Arcane was excellent, probably one of the best animated series I've ever seen. But it's true that a good 90% of the content is garbage.
Apparently 5-7 year olds going on their “first errand alone” is actually a bit of a cultural right of passage in japan. Nearly eveyone has a “first errand” like the show and when you see a little kid on an errand it’s just normal to cheer them on and help them. Normally it’s super easy like going to the corner store, not going across town to the market or something
Ironically this is the marvel/Disney structure. They release shows at one episode a week to get an entire weeks worth of theories and social discourse and it works to make these shows way more popular then they otherwise would be. I personally enjoy it as it makes the time commitment much easier to only 40min a week to stay up to date. Netflix is really the only streaming company not doing this model anymore. Think about The boys, AHS, any HBO show, etc.
This makes u seem young. It seems like you're saying that marvel/Disney started this structure ahah
@@quietloudgg haha I’m simply saying that they are the main ones doing the structure now. I’m YA so GoT was the first time I saw this release structure

Finally its here .
@TheWelshToast ofc and not everything cable did (intentionally or unintentionally) was bad.
I was literally going to say this, my sister and I try to watch the shows when they release together but sometimes we can’t and it’s still nice that we’re on the same page even if we can’t watch together
I think netflix's downfall started when they completely changed their model and stopped being a library of collected shows/movies from everywhere. Once studios got into the streaming game and took their ip off netflix, it pretty much put all of the pressure on netflix to pump out banger originals constantly otherwise there was really nothing there for people to watch. That worked for a while with stuff like stranger things and squid games, but if that ever stopped they would be in trouble and now they are. Combine that with jacking up prices and cracking down on sharing passwords and its a recipe for disaster
Yeah, they have the problem that they are not the front for a huge studio/media company.
Yeah, and they kept not giving shows a second season bc obviously more seasons don't drive new subscribers, but rather hold onto old ones. But that's not real "growth". So it feels like they kept making new shows to nudge you to check this new one out, it'll be good
@@choppa3358 which is weird because they spend millions on new episodes for shitty shows like riverdale and stranger things 3
@@wtfisggon7251 hey stranger things ain't shitty
@@choppa3358 the biggest mistake Netflix made was cancelling dark crystal shit was so good
I feel it’s not that there aren’t good shows anymore, we’re just oversaturated with content. It’s hard to keep up with shows when they’re scattered across 10 different streaming services. Also, shows like GoT, walking dead, lost, etc. didn’t really have any competition during their time. But now you have multiple shows available for each genre.
There was always competition, even back then. You just don't remember the competition because we tend to only remember the most popular or successful shows/songs/etc from the past. It's the same reason people say that music was better in the 70s. There was just as much shitty music back then, people just only remember the good stuff decades later.
The binge "dump the whole season at once" doesn't help either because you watch it all over either 1 or a few sittings then forget about it in like a day or 2 after
@@Abrody1477 yeah but that isn't a problem if the shows are good. I binged Mindhunter and Narcos when they first came out and then prob rewatched them 3-4 times just because they're really good or when the new seasons were coming out. The fact that Mindhunter got nixed for logistical problems, and Big Mouth keeps getting reupped makes me sad.
🏴☠️
Breaking Bad had competition, and wasn’t the most popular… then they put it on Netflix and it blew tf up.
Netflix's best show imo is Travelers, and how they handled it says a lot about them. The series got 100% on rotten tomatoes and Netflix revealed in a press release it was their 7th most binged show in 2017. They canceled it shortly after.
Brilliant.
I loved that series. Binged every release with my family. And then it was gone.
Was a fantastic show
It was produced in part by cbc and they cancelled it. Netflix paid for one more season alone to finish the story.
YOOOOOO Travelers was so good
The last show that I remember actually wanting to talk to other people about and getting to in that weekly kind of format was Arcane, granted it came out in 3-episode packages but still, it's the only show that has ever made me get a Netflix subscription. Because it was Riot producing the show, Netflix had almost nothing to do with it, which arguably is why it was as good as it was, with even my friends and family that don't play League watching and getting excited about it.
i think a lot of netflix animation is very good because netflix doesnt have a hand. arcane is a MASTERPIECE. period. and stuff like centaurworld and cuphead that came out recently are also like really fucking good. animated movies too. klaus of the top of me head (which is insane and changed the industry a litte) and two like really good looking movies are coming out this and next year (Nimona & the sea beast, both of which made my friends lose our mind when we found out about them) netflix animation kicks ass
And honestly if it's not on Netflix, Riot will release it on another platform. They're going to produce it for whoever puts the most eyes on it.
Better call Saul is really good, especially the latest episode shit was crazy
It's actually pretty much completely made by Fortiche, a French animation studio, under loose direction and with loose story leads by Riot. Fortiche is extremely underappreciated in discussions about Arcane, they are the ones who made it happen.
Better call Saul is amazing and it's also on NETFLIX. The sixth season is running now. But yeah, Netflix has zero hand in that show.
It's funny how Netflix went from a staple in most people's homes to an absolute trainwreck in such a short amount of time. These guys invented the direct streaming service model and now they can't keep up with the competition.

It's kinda funny and sad watching the same thing happen to netflix that happened to blockbuster. Netflix offered to sell themselves to blockbuster and they refused. Blockbuster failed to adapt and went downhill... Now netflix is failing to adapt.
not really short amount of time lmfao it took like 4-6 years. granted, it’s technically been a thing since like the late 90s up till now, it still didn’t drown itself in like 3 months lol.
This often happens to pioneers in a certain business. They never had to "keep up" before, because everyone else had to keep up with them.
@@radicallybean 4-6 years for a company valued in the 100 billions is a really short time though
Honestly mad props to Ken Jeong for walking off the show. He deserves better, seems like a real nice and funny guy
seems like a bitch to me to have to walk off stave over an old man no matter who it is
Bad take
@@joshuamostyn5377 its the only take
I’m not surprised, Ken’s a doctor and Giuliani has spread misinformation on covid numerous times. Makes sense he wouldn’t want anything to do with him

When Euphoria season 2 came out, every week I would hear kids in my classes (I’m in my last year of hs) talking about it and it wasn’t even people who knew each other. I totally understand your point and I kinda wish more shows would the Euphoria model or even the Marvel Disney+ show format because I see that trending online a lot, idk it’d be nice tho
Like every show that isnt produce by subscription provider

HBO still does the weekly release model and are making great stuff. Succession and Barry are great!
Barry>
sopranos is the best show of all time
ofmd was really good too! and the hype around it was kinda huge
HBO and Disney+ are my two favorites ATM. Hulu is a close third with Letterkenny.
I do like discovery+ for trash tv, ngl
Winning time is pretty good too
As a fan of Survivor I’m so glad I can discuss it with the community after every weekly episode. Discussing the challenges, vote offs and funny moments in each episode and there are even people who pick apart the edit trying to find the winner before they’re announced. And none of that would happen if they just released the whole season at once.
I've seen other people make this argument, about missing the "monoculture", and I'm gonna be honest, I think a big part of it is just our general tendency as humans to cling to the familiar and resent change. We might've lost having that show everyone watches, but we've also had a lot more stuff that's willing to take risks and go interesting places, precisely because they're not trying to be for everyone (kinda like how some people complain about "movies sucking lately", while only watching superhero movies).
It's also interesting looking back at what the narrative was when the monoculture was at its strongest, and read the opinion pieces of the time, complaining about how mass entertainment was often a dumbed down version of the world that tended to flatten out everything, and how much better things were when we weren't all "forced" to all consume the same things, to see that we as people tend to be resentful of change and create pasts in our minds that might seem rosier than they were in reality.
You and @mathew jalovik just hit the nail on the head
I feel like there’s a bit more to it, but you make good points
Hey man, I think there are still some banger shows out there, Better Call Saul as an example is just releasing weekly episodes and has been great. That being said I do miss having that one big show people talk about week to week. Releasing everything at once gives people like 1 week of massive hype explosion then it just dies, interesting point about the awkward “oh what ep are you on” spoiler nervousness too, it’s annoying to not have as many shared experiences everyone can follow along with.
Agreed. BCS truly is something special these days, and I love the fact that after each new episode I can discuss it with my friends and check out Reddit for discussion and memes etc. It reminds me of GoT or Lost back in the days.
But it just goes to show that the weekly model actually might have some merit to it.
Ozark as well. Not the weekly model but probably in my top ten list of shows to watch.
But I’d argue these shows are just reminiscent of the hay day of Netflix, when they made banger after banger. Most of the shows like that are in their final seasons and on their way out.
Anyone see the new episode yet?
@@softbleach487 I have ;_;
I really like Locke and Key, Scissor Seven, the Order and many more
Squid Game was the last big show on Netflix that everyone watched. Kdramas are keeping Netflix alive at this point since they lost their big sitcoms
i meannnn Aracnne?
Legit, there's always this 1 show a month or every 2 months you will watch avidly. Squid Game, The Witcher, Love on the specter etc... There's some good Food show but overall it's washed and you have to waste 10 hours on bad shows to get onto the next good ones!
but wasnt arcane even more popular
Bruh Squid Game is the only kdrama that anybody gaf about. Backcatalog is keeping them alive, shows like Breaking Bad, Dark, Mindhunter, Black Mirror, Peaky Blinders, and movies like Saving Private Ryan, Shawshank Redemption, Taxi Driver, Full Metal Jacket, Django, The Imitation Game, Warrior, The Irishman
Copium
Fandoms just hit different when everyone watched the same episodes together.
Honestly, that is one thing I like about Helluva Boss. It comes out gradually and the entire fanbase is invested on the same episode and is trying to dissect the lore and making relevant jokes/memes. The community is more engaged.
helluva boss takes a lil too long tho
when arcade was out doing the 3 episodes a week thing, I LOVED the discussions happening and predicting what would happen, and the collective reactions. I totally agree with lud, bring back weekly shows that arent ass!
The last best Netflix show was Arcane. That show was goated you gotta check it out if you haven’t seen it.
He’s also ignoring how popular Squid Game and The Queens Gambit were. I mean he thrived from the chess meta due to the latter.
@@Kyleman7401 squid game was literally the most successful show worldwide like ever, my man’s got goldfish memory
@@Kyleman7401 I didn't understand his claim that new shows feel like "Time Burners". He must be missing out on great TV- the newest seasons of Barry (HBO) and Better Call Saul are currently airing. Plus the shows you've listed.
@@clydex906 later in the video I do end up agreeing more with his take after he mentions the ideology of all episodes out at once rather than the classic model of weekly releases. There really hasn’t been a show like Game of Thrones that everybody waits tooth and nail for it to come out. But still doesn’t mean that Netflix hasn’t had wildly successful shows. Stranger Things is on Season 4 now. The one take Jake he does on these probably didn’t let him think about it in the moment.
@@Kyleman7401 he said queen's gambit
I actually never made that connection with weekly shows. I did have way more conversations about shows in between episodes back then. Now it's either talk about the show after both finishing it or being like "oh no spoilers I'll bring it up later"

It was a good tool to make friends as well lol. Find a person at the office or school or wherever who is watching the same show as you and then every week you have something to break the ice with.
The weekly release experience is a big part of why I watch anime. I can keep up with simulcasts as they come out, and there's other people doing it that I can talk with about. The only time that people are ahead is if they've read the manga, and that's not often an issue really
I absolutely want the weekly model to come back, but still have the convenience of binge watching to catch up or rewatch an old series. I also have ZERO self control when it comes to watching something (i've gotten way better) but typically I'll just want to speed through it as fast as possible and usually I enjoy it a lot less. I also like having that next episode to look forward to rather than going back to back to back through the season.
I agree. I also really want to go back to the weekly model. It works for anime (the whole community is almost practically united when it comes to famous anime) and just like you had noted, the weekly model really does unite people
Man I miss weekly Jojo before Netflix got their grimy hands on it
I'm a binge watcher, I love being able to watch all at once or taking my time catching up. Howeverrrr with Arcane I gotta admit that the slower release was actually super fun. It gave us the perfect amount of content and time to discuss the episodes after
Agreed
I agree with having the weekly model of shows being released, I dont watch many shows anymore even if they are good because it always gets spoiled because everything is released all at once.
I feel like the last good show Netflix did right was Arcane, and I assume that was more of a contractual thing with Riot for the 3 episodes a week instead of all 9 at once. It was the first time (like you said) since GoT that I was talking about a show week to week, albeit a short few weeks, and it was great! left space for some theory talk and excitement to build!
The new Twin Peaks was actually really good. It is paced a lot slower than the original, but I absolutely loved it.
yeah
Twin peaks the return being dogshit is the hottest take I've heard.I feel like slime and I must have watched completely different shows.
I think the reason Arcane is forgot here is it's essence feels like its a completely Riot made show on Netflix, not a Netflix produced show, which it is. Arcane is too cracked to ignore for the sake of a point though, have to give it props
Arcane is often forgot about because it’s ultimately an animated show. All of Netflix’s animation has been really super fucking good up until their bone headed decisions recently. The average person is more into live action dramas, especially for an American audience. They’re the most piloted types of shows currently because of streaming and how people binge-watch. It’s also why there’s less emphasis on animation and surprisingly comedies as well.
@@KingofKnowhere netflix comedies are trash tho
@@wtfisggon7251 I was bringing up comedies because they face similar issues like animated shows. They’re super hard to get right, especially at the network TV level because they need as much time to get the formula down. It’s why streaming services are in need of them and why services like Disney+ Star/Hulu, HBO Max and Peacock have excelled so well with them. They have diverse libraries of their sitcoms and can green light them well, but they aren’t the main attraction. That’s been killing Netflix because while they have invested so much into animation and dramas, they rely on licensed sitcoms that aren’t there anymore. The comedy department of Netflix is lacking aside from standup. Netflix was doing absolutely amazing in the animation department but their recent changes at the top might kill them alongside subscription plan changes for the worst.
Genuinely interesting video and comments, thought I'd add to the discussion: Disney's 1 episode a week release is also just a business scheme... There are 10-12 episodes for most shows, and most users are billed monthly (every 4-ish weeks), so by having episodes released weekly, if you're invested in a show, they can milk you for another 2 or 3 subscriptions compared to Netflix's viewing model: I can pay for 1 month and finish as many series as I wanted bc episodes typically drop as whole seasons. And I (and many others I would assume) won't mind waiting a few weeks to get a subscription and binge-watching shows once the whole season (or most of it) is out to try and save a few bucks, there's so many shows/films being release, I'm already years behind, whats a couple more weeks yknow
I could write a whole thesis on this topic, but thought I would share :] have a good day
The weekly model is, in my opinion, a good way to post shows and media. It was nice to talk about episodes of tv shows that just aired with friends
I agree, I really like the weekly model. It's also so much fun to get together and watch the episode every week with your friends, then theorize over the week and stuff
I’m watching moon knight right now and i like having the weekly model every Wednesday morning I’m hyped to see where the show is good and like going on CZcams to see what people think about the episode, and breakdown stuff that I missed.
@@hardym9532 I'm doing the same and I love the hype. Especially the fact that it's on Wednesdays. Rather than watching the whole thing over a weekend and feeling like crap going in, there's something I'm really excited about midway through the week that gives me a boost and gets me excited for next week. I know it's all an elaborate way to get me to spend more money, but screw it they're gonna do that anyway and at least I'm happy.
the weekly model is incredible. Unironically (as much as you hate it) anime uses this and the community overall is amazing (ignoring all the deep end sh*t) because everybody has their freakouts when episodes drop there's tons of discourse about it and it genuinely is fantastic to have this weekly model.(plus hype doesn't die down as fast as, for example what happened with Squid Game.
Exactly…I mean look what Netflix did to jojo part 6….should have been weekly
@@user-sj2xr1hq8s exactly part 6 was amazing but the hype was completely killed with the release
imo i dont mind the hype dying down for a show as long as they can continue to put out good content fast af because I'm the kind of person who HATES waiting weekly for episodes, it honestly kills it for me which is why I end up waiting till the end of a season for most anime n tv shows. but just my opinion
I get it for some people but no show has EVER kept my interest if its weekly release. Regardless of the show or how much I enjoyed it I will forget about it and will not stay up to date if its weekly. Idk why, buts its binge or nothing there is no middle ground.
weekly model sucks, usually discourse is either just reactions or absolute cancer. much prefer being able to watch it all and talk about it afterward
to make a point both hbo max and disney use the weekly model. They both upload episodes of new shows (i.e. moonknight, euphoria, peacemaker) on a weekly base after the premier episode. it helps keep everyone on the same episodes of the show, keeps from spoilers, and keeps people subscibed month after month.
Where I live ( India ) the price for the 4K Netflix plan equates to around $8.25 USD and this is similar for most international brands trying to enter the Indian market, like with Steam, where you can snag about 10 games for $ 20 USD and Prime Video, where the subscription price is $ 19.59 a year or $ 2.34 a month.
Also a side note; the Netflix 4K plan used to be a couple bucks more expensive, we have a mobile plan for Netflix which is around $ 2 and we don't have access to HBO Max or whatever other streaming service is being introduced without a VPN.
I remember 1 year ago when we all made memes about Disney and Amazon going for weekly releases because otherwise they didnt have enough content to keep a subscription and praised Netflix for just dumping everything all at once so everyone could decide for themselves how they wanted to watch it, since they werent insecure about the longevity of their content
I think forcibly watching a show at the same speed has advantages however it comes with a giant consequence for every other consumer and is a practice we shouldnt reinforce
I agree that it does feel like the model for television has changed as a whole. Though for some shows like "Squid game" or "Mandalorian" I feel like people could watch those as they come out. My personal take is that people choose to not do that because it's easier to just wait until it's all released and then watch it all at once. Whereas with cable TV you couldn't do that easily, sure you could record them with TiVo or another "Show Recording" service but people would generally sit down around the TV when it came time to air the show. Either way, I agree with the sentiment of the model changing, but I think that the people watching have changed more than the shows themselves.
But that's not true, people watching haven't changed as much as you are implying. That can be seen by GoT, it was only like 4 years ago, and people watched it every week. It was probably a really small proportion of people that waited until the season ended to watch it all, everyone I knew watched it every week.
@@bh_quicksilver251 That is a fair point, and to that same extent mando came out 3 years ago around the same time, and I know plenty of people that watched it on a weekly basis. But I feel that people in the past 4 years alone have been polarized a lot with politics. And that would also effect companies to produce content that people will incorporate their political bias as to whether or not to watch.
I do think that recently some content have just been dog water. However, in my experience, I know that people are very caught up in the real world and that effects how there isn't a lot of room to talk about shows, let alone watch or try new ones. I also believe that people might just be moving towards watching more livestreams, youtube, or just online videos as a whole, and how that deters companies from making a series that would cost lots of money.
There's also the fact that shows in the past 2 years have done this kind of weird dance with the pandemic. That definitely didn't stop companies from producing shows and series but It might have effected the quality. But that is just pure speculation, well too be honest all of this is just my own opinion and speculation so I guess take it with a grain of salt.
Reading over my comments, I am all over the place. The conclusion is that I think people have changed a bit with politics. However companies have also changed and along with them changing so have the content.
But I mean, HBO Max didn't release until 2020, GoT and a bunch of other shows were all still on TV and thus was just easier to watch on a weekly basis. The era of companies moving to a digital online platform instead of a cable TV one has changed the way people view content.
i agree with your take on the weekly model. it was the reason that i found season 2 of euphoria to be so fun to watch. i knew so many people that were tuning in and could discuss with them what we thought was going to happen next, or what we thought the craziest moment of the episode was. the fact that it aired on a weekend night too was fun and got to watch it with a group of friends a few times. :)
Thats whats been great about the star wars shows, they drop weekly and there's chance to enjoy each episode
Calling the 10 minute and 40 seconds mark before even starting to wrap it up takes some talent.
It feels like to find the 'Good Shows' you have to look for them (especially on Netflix). And unless a show blows up on Social Media, most people aren't going to see that it exist and is good. And the binge model directly makes the time a show is in the spotlight much smaller. So in order to find good stuff you have to search for it actively, which run against the instant gratification that is prevalent currently. So it ends up feeling like everything is trash because there is on average more trash, but it was balanced out by the good stuff being more impactful. But good stuff is less impactful now TBH because you binge it in a day.
Literally the last live action show I remember enjoying from Netflix was Shadow and Bone. (Oh and masked singer Korea is actually incredible and they get real talented people so watch that not the US version)
I'd say we're trending towards weekly releases in part thanks to Netflix's competitors like HBO Max and Disney+. Weekly format hits such as Marvel & Star Wars series, Euphoria and Insecure are examples of how the original format still thrives even in this social media age
I feel like this can be felt from all reaches of television once more “on-demand” methods became popular. I don’t exactly think it’s entirely bad though. Once pirating and streaming became the next big thing, everyone is watching what they want at their own pace depending on the amount of free time is on their hands.

Finally its here .
Hey lud, I agree that Netflix really doesn’t have the best shows, but there are definitely some really good gems that I have found. Just some suggestions but Colony is a really intriguing show, as well as Ozark. The issue that I have is there are so many streaming services, but they stretch out all the good shows among them! sadge
Ye I agree, I personally really enjoyed Russian Doll, there's loads of potential in some of the shows unfortunately they keep cancelling fan and critic favourites so the audience tends to leave.
And they have really interesting documentary series too, I think I'm really on the platform for those 😔
Yeah, such a shame something like piracy doesn't exist huh
Found the Netflix stockholder
Netflix has a good amount of good shows, but the platform’s subscription model is trash. Also, most of their good shows are animated and those just don’t have the widespread appeal that they need to have.
this is one of the main reasons i watch anime now, the pure hype of talking about releasing shows is such a nice feeling
One of the reasons Ted Lasso is GOAT'd. Weekly episodes. Beautiful camera-work and story-telling. One of my favorite actors ever. Sucks that Apple TV doesn't have a lot, but Ted Lasso is worth a month or two.
Min 5: The weekly model makes us pay for bad shows for a long time
Min 9: geez guys we should really go back to the weekly model so we can all talk about shows
The new twin peaks is incredible bad take slime
i feel like every streaming service except netflix is a weekly model now.
Disney do the weekly model, and it makes every episode a lot more enjoyable in my opinion.
plus the fact that my colleagues and I are always at the same part of a show, making lunch convos go a lot smoother
Man I really miss GOT. The first 4 seasons, even 6 seasons for the most part, were some of the best television I've seen to this day. It failing to wrap up successfully has left a void I haven't been able to fill
One of the reasons I watch anime is the exact reason you stated in your video. Anime has the weekly discourse you mentioned where everyone watches the latest episode every week. Granted the anime needs to be mainstream enough to reach a popularity where everyone is talking about it. Last one I remember happening was AOT on twitter. This weekly discourse also happens with less popular shows although you need to find those niche communities.
As an anime and manga lover im so glad I still have these moments where everybody watches a show and talks about it. Last big thing was Attack on titan. Even my friends in school that normally dont watch anime, watched it. It was so cool to go to school every monday and the first thing you hear is "have you watched the last episode? This shit was crazy!" and then just talk about it and speculate what happens next.
I think they do this really well on HBO, when the new Euphoria or Peacemaker episode dropped on Sundays/ Thursdays, Everyone was watching together because it was a weekly system. Stranger things may also be a good show coming up, but they will just drop the full season at once, leading to that lack of conversation.
Wait, what? I’m kinda confused about this one… people regularly say that Netflix is dogshit now but I can rattle off top notch shows they create and produce no problem and ones that I have BINGED because of the quality: Money Heist, Squid Game, Stranger Things, Peaky Blinders, You, The Witcher, Archive 81, The Crown, Master of None, Ozark, Sex Education, Outer Banks, and on and on and on… what in the fuck is everyone on about? I agree that bingeing isn’t the most long term satiating model but saying that Netflix doesn’t continually put out bangers is absurd and disingenuous.
nah true, Netflix has viral marketing by the balls and know how to generate hype online. If they did the weekly release model, it would be bloated because of the content but imaging episode-based hype: a la Squid Game or You
Yeah, wish Netflix could properly advertise its shows or, you know, have a decent way of looking them by genre. No, Netflix, I don't want to look for horror and have seventeen subcategories, just give me your entire horror catalogue like a normal service
Arcane is the only recent show I can recall really loving enough to go tell friends to watch. I hadn't really thought about it til you brought it up, but I really do miss having shows like Game of Thrones, or Breaking Bad, or even season 1 of The Walking Dead, which my entire friend group would constantly talk about, and theorize over where the show was heading next week. Good times.
I was hoping Wheel of Time, against all odds could somehow, someway, become something special. But even as a book reader I only got like 4-5 episodes in before quitting. Not because it wasn't true to the books (I thought it HAD to deviate to be a good show in 2022), but just because it was not very good at all. And there are no upcoming shows, save for Arcane season 2, that my friends and I are hyped to see.
I wish I could really love anime like a lot of people I know. I've tried like 12 different ones, and I think it's just not really for me. Even the ones I thought were pretty good, like Vinland Saga or FMA:B, don't hook me in the same way as other shows. I always end up dropping them after like a season and a half.
Unrelated to the video but I feel like this channel has become such a creative outlet for Ludwig because they don't let him talk about news on the yard 😭 While I'm thankful this channel is the way that it is, it's nice to see Ludwig talk about cool new things in the news he's learned, even if it was on the yard.
Netflix does change its price based on median income. The basic plan is around 5usd here in Brazil, and the most premium one is around 10
anime on a weekly model giving me things to talk about w/ friends on several weekdays is a blessing thats all ive got to say
Netflix just trying to grasp at every penny they can
I like the weekly upload too because Disney + also uses it and it help unites us through marvel tv shows
Personally, I think producers should pick and choose how they should release episodes based on how the story is told. For example, episodic shows like Atlanta do great with a weekly release because it lets each story "sink in". However, if each episode leads into the next, then I think releasing them in groups based on key plot points is the best way to go. The release of all 9 episodes of Arcane split into 3 acts was great bc I always felt content with the episodes that were released while still looking forward to the next act.
Honestly, I know anime has been doing weekly episodes forever, but I really wish they could release some of the episodes in groups, especially when it's a fight. S2 of Demon Slayer was great, but the pacing would have been more enjoyable if they split the fight up by their key moments and showed each group all at once.
The only show on Netflix that I ever recommend to people was The Witcher. I was always a big fan of the games so guess I got bit of a bias but netflix actually did a good job in the one
I always recomend Stranger things i really love this series
i really enjoyed peaky blinders also
Arcane!
I feel that way with Arcane, the show is so good you don't even need any prior LoL knowledge. The Witcher was great too I enjoyed it even tho I know nothing about the actual games
Dark is the best by far
“I am not a weeb” said everyone who is a weeb 😂 watch the anime man’s Japan quiz for proof 😅
Old enough is such a good show I love it so cute!
The only shows I can think about that have had any community aspects to them in the last couple years have been Disney+ ones. There are literally CZcams videos series I talk about with my friends more than TV
honestly, modern television makes being a weeb look pretty alright
okay but the intentionality to call out a 10:40 second video and then time your last thoughts so it actually ends at 10:40, much appreciated.
I definitely do not miss the weekly episodes of a show.
I am not the kind of person who can sit and watch an episode a week and still be excited about it, I need to binge a show to stay engaged.
disney hits this and they're really smart for it, they can drip feed a season over 2 months so they only need 6 killer shows a year and they hit the marvel and starwars fans hard with that
The weekly model is the only good part about being a fan of anime, particularly those that are still having episodes pushed. Because you've usually got an episode to look forward to every week and can then talk about said episode with people who watch. It's hype.
True Netflix killed all hype for JoJo Part 6 by dropping it all at once
Arcane, and squid game were pretty good though. However, I think the problem is lower income people are struggling in America right now, having to cut costs where they can. I agree though, I don’t like how Netflix doesn’t do weekly uploads, I much prefer that than waiting an extra week or two to watch a series.
@NamelessMiss how?
@NamelessMiss there’s no shortage of real hate and problems in the world, this seems like the most asinine thing to be offended by
did lud say back to twitch and youtube at the end? truly a ludwig "clip farming" ahgren classic
Your last point about wanting the weekly model Star Wars still does this with their shows like mandalorian and bad batch and it’s pretty great
I agree the weekly model works way better, and it builds more of a community feel to the show. A lot of animes do that like attack on titan or demon slayer, and it helps build the hype between episodes, ultimately heightening the enjoyment from each episode. I really hope netflix does something like that with stranger things season 4, or else I know I'm gonna watch it all in one day. Good vid tho
JoJo part 6 was forgotten about after a week because of the binge model
I think it's kind of funny because as far as I know the only shows Netflix does that with are anime like Blue Period
I just watched all of attack on titan in a row the last few days and it was one of the best things ever. Binging it made it so goooood
@@slbhugomarques2 trust me tho, part 2 of season 4 find some friends who watch the show, and talk about every episode each week. It will cause the buildup to each episode to skyrocket. Changes the whole game
I can’t wait for House Of The Dragon! I hope it’ll at least bring about some of the same discourse that GoT did. However, having a bunch of friends who’ve never seen GoT has allowed me to continue that feeling even after it ending years ago and watching the whole series dozens of times.
I have no faith in off book GOT
@@74rocktiger74 Isn’t house of the dragon based on Fire and Blood?
@@elephantwaffle5612 I mean kind of. Fire and blood is more of a history book than a biography. Meaning the original series/books were more of POV chapters while fire and blood is a retelling of history from a third party perspective. HBO seemed to shine when they could almost tie the show word for word to the original books, while this new show will just be more of a frame work. We saw what they did with the frame work of "Winds of Winds" and "Dream of Spring".
I personally never loved the dump for binge model because I usually don't have the time to catch up on time before everyone is posting spoilers everywhere. I also personally enjoy taking my time to really take in and remember the show. The anticipation for the next weekly episode is also really fun for actual discorse
Better call saul is on netflix here in germany and some shows that aren't on cable here are on netflix so it's sometimes worth to check it out.
i love mogul mail and luds work but BRO this is like the 3rd vid that luds said "old enough" and i got scared for my nonexistent kids' safety LMFAO
He does talk about it nonstop
Ozark is one of the best shows on netflix ive ever watched, sure they dont have the best movies anymore or shows but them making constant new shows and movies is insane
Ozark is so good, can't wait for the new episodes in a few days!
I need someone to clip "Eggs? YEAH!!!"
this is why i tried tuning in to euphoria (didn't end up liking it and also joined too late) but hearing the weekly conversations where people were excited about something and on the same page seemed exciting
I'm telling you now Lud, Slime has the actual worst opinions when it comes to art and you should never listen to him lmao. Twin Peaks The Return was amazing, it just went out of its way not to please any single crowd in service of its messages against the glorification of serial killers in TV and general American media. Not a show for everyone, but if you like Twin Peaks then you should definitely give The Return a try, purely because Twin Peaks as a series is too layered to simply judge by one person's word.
I also don't know what Slime is reading, I've pretty much heard only good things about The Returns from people online & in person alike, unless if they are someone who hates Lynch to begin with I suppose.
Slime is just a bitter boy lol
The Return is top notch! I showed the whole series to a bunch of friends over the course of a year during lockdown and we all loved the third (and hopefully final) season the best. Definitely worth a watch!
I was thinking the same thing lmao
yeah that show is amazing, and slime doesn't like neil young either
Lol yea slime prolly wasn’t the intended audience for that. And the return was in fact made BY David Lynch
The Return is in my opinion and I think there's definitely a case to be made in general but the best piece of television ever created. It's in my top 3 often taking the top spot for best piece of art or media full stop. It is the culmination of Lynch's whole career and just as the original run did 30 years ago completely shifts the medium in ways never done before. It is a goddamn masterpiece.
Man I miss when everyone watched big shows and they were a huge pop culture thing too! The hype of the anticipation and the theory crafting for shows like Lost, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, etc. with friends and even strangers was incredible
Didn't like 2 of the shows had like the worse endings in tv history? I know lost ending sucked ass. Never watched game of thrones.
@@cngotham4111 Some parts of the GoT ending is fine, but it was very rushed so it didn’t feel right to a lot of people. (And the journey there without the books as source material [Season 5+] was rough)
@@Killopotamus No part of the GOT ending was fine to me. I felt like every character did the exact opposite of what they said they would do episodes before.
@@cngotham4111 Y'know that expression of "it's the journey not the destination" that's the sort of feeling I felt for Game of Thrones (never watched Lost) and other shows like The Walking Dead at their height. Sure, TWD is shit ass garbage now and GoT had one of the worst endings I have ever had to witness. But that shitty, terrible ending was experienced alongside my friends, which made it altogether a fun ride
@@azorath ummm what was the last season of walking dead have you watched because it's not really garbage anymore. Surprisingly it got good after that dumb negan vs Rick war. The whispers were pretty good villains. Ricks baby girl is a fucking badass shes like 10 and caring a huge ass pistol. Negan is a very interesting character with huge development.
The weekly model is currently a big discourse in the jojos community as 1/3 parts of stone ocean was released around november in one big bunch and now we are all waiting for the next batch in autumn, unfortunately we all burned through the episodes very quickly and the fandom mostly miss weekly episodes on "jojo fridays" as it also gave people who didn't watch the manga time to create theories and build tension
A weekly model makes sense for tv shows, gives you something to look forward to, and mass releasing episodes just ends up making people binge watch, without actually being able to fully process what’s happening in the story lines.
My expectations for Netflix has Skyrocketed because they let Alice Oseman put her show Heartstopper onto the site. Alice basically had all say with See-Saw productions and Netflix was just a place to put the show somewhere, somewhere that was easily accessible, low cost, and a lot of people already had.
Heartstopper is a phenomenal lgbt coming of age story and was originally a graphic novel, that you can read FOR FREE on webtoons and other place. But the fact that this is on Netflix is great.
I genuinely cried when it finished, and do wish that they released the show weekly, and not all at once. Would have been an amazing 8 weeks, always on that high for the next episode like Stranger things, going back and looking for easter eggs or nods to those years.
But yeah, Netflix kinda sucks but has been good with LGBT representation lately. (Sex Education, Heartstopper, Couple other shows, You get it.)
How did I know Ludwig was gonna say the show is “is it cake” I think he’s not alone in kind of cringe watching that show and simultaneously enjoying it. Also I think Euphoria came close to being the latest show people enjoyed weekly but it definitely was more popular amongst younger people so he might not of watched it
I really liked the model arcane had, where it released in bundles in 3s for a little while. It was fun and felt like you got a lot in one week, while you could still talk with your friends about the episodes weekly
Majority of my media intake is CZcams w/ premium, and twitch. The legit only reason I turn on my cable box anymore is for Better Call Saul and any time I have to endure performers I like being on some awful late night talk show, and even then I could easily just wait for that to be on CZcams hours after broadcast.
Literally like no one’s talking about how shows have started to come out in arcs. With 2 or 3 episodes coming out at a time. A lot of streaming services have been messing with how they release shows. It all kinda started around when Arcane was coming out. Which was 3 episodes at a time. Vox Machina I think was 3 episodes a week as well. Literally I feel like Netflix has been kinda killing it with the weirdness they pick to be on their platform. Atleast in that regard. Now how they handle keeping shows and changing prices and all that shit I agree they are kinda all over the place. For me Netflix was/ is the place for Directors and people to do weird things. Which I think over time other streaming platforms have come to adopt as well. Like fuck me I still wish we got Season 3 of The OA. There’s a lot of shows / movies that they release that never really get talked about unless they explode like Bird Box and Squid game and those things end up being pretty mid compared to their other stuff in my opinion at least. All in all I actually think that Netflix is a pretty dope platform that has giving us alot of great shows and movies.
On the contrary Netflix really hits it out of the park frequently with its original programs- Stranger Things, Russian Doll, Umbrella Academy, Ozark, Witcher, Big Mouth, Squid Game, the Mike Flanagan miniseries, and so on. They frequently have series that catches a lot of attention, but I think it's correct that it's just the volume of releases, and the fact that it's designed to be binged and set aside, makes it hard to keep in our memory.
Also, Americans do also seem to forget that Netflix is regional, and that makes the service's offerings different in other countries. Netflix really became quite good here in Canada for the longest time, as it didn't have any strong competitors until recently.
Bro better call Saul is absolutely carry modern american television
I agree I’ve seen people talk about how binging is bad for the social aspect of shows and it’s bad for your experience too since you pretty much forget most of the show when you binged it in a day, most of what happened didn’t stick in your brain so you didn’t get as much enjoyment out of it, and then you have to wait a year for the next season and you don’t even remember most of what happened in the last season and the cycle repeats. But don’t forget it only repeats about twice because we all know Netflix will just cancel a show regardless of how good it is or how many people want to see it continued or at least a season to wrap things up
TBH, I think the Netflix downfall really went into full swing when they started created reality TV shows. Like DOZENS of them! It’s a good business model, since you don’t have to have as big of a production crew AND you don’t need to hire actors and write scripts but it waters down your platform
I'm honestly glad Disney+ has been doing the weekly rollout with their shows. I've been watching Moon Knight the day it comes out and being able to keep up with the discourse has been so fun. It's the only TV show I've been watching/keeping up to date with rn.
I'm glad some streaming services like Disney+ and Amazon Prime have started doing things like dropping 3 episodes then making each episode afterward week to week. Happened with The Boys, and that felt to me a lot like the Game of Thrones era. Every week when I hung out with friends, we'd talk about the latest episode. Was dope. Can definitely feel the quality of Netflix's shows, at least, dropping significantly compared to their earlier stuff with Daredevil etc.
Respect to him just straight up walking off the stage 😂
