The problem with Walking Dead is it was uninspired and trite and mawkish right from the jump. It was the same tripe dramas peddled by tv for the last 75 years with zombies stuck onto it. Same stock characters, same inane "self-discovery" or "tragic truths" at the adolescent core of every MCU movie. An AI could have generated it.
The pilot of LTOU wasn't like that. It had some thought behind it. It didn't have the plaster human-like emotional range of a 20-something Princeton grad writer. It has some actual functioning sex organs of humanity.
Now, I don't know how long that can last with a show obviously reaching for an enormous audience. Shopping Mall Authenticity is all 90% of humanity is capable of handling. But it's off to a good start. Maybe it will get the coveted Prestige label and survive for a while as a smart show dumb people try to watch to pretend they are smart (West World). Even morons listen to Mozart cuz that's classy.
But we saw where that inevitably leads.Cornell University

You realize it’s based off of video game series right? And the lead writer for the TV series is the same person who lead development on the video games. I don’t think you have to worry about the series going full derp.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

Netflix apparently uses a metric which shows them completion rate. If 100 people start watching a show, how many finish it? They apparently want a >50% completion rate. The binge model sucks for that because I may have a couple hours on a Friday night to start watching something but not be able to finish it right away. I may plan to watch the next couple episodes next Friday. But without that reminder to watch, the show gets lost in the shuffle. Now the metric goes down. And yeah, if I think a show I want to watch is just going to be canceled anyway, why bother starting or continuing? That again hurts the numbers.
I had been a Netflix subscriber since back in the days when they'd send you a DVD in the mail. I dropped my membership, in part because if I want to watch something on Netflix, I just wait until something big drops then I can binge that show and more for one month, then cancel. I can't really do that with Disney or HBO because the shows are weekly. So if I want to stay current on Mandalorian or House of the Dragon, that requires a multi-month commitment. Netflix has had the market to itself for so long these problems never really had to be addressed. Now they're facing stiff competition from rivals who have decades more experience programming networks successfully.

Maybe Disney+, Prime, and Hulu are probably in the same 1A tier (maybe 1B) and I honestly haven't heard many (if any!) issues for any of these so far. HBO is obviously having the worst of the issues (who the hell pulls their own content? I've heard all the explanations, but none of them are compelling IMO.)Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1
