@ShiraOvide They kind of do mostly? Which is nice to have when you need it in a pinch but not a good long-term solution. Can’t stream an NFL game (or Ted Lasso or whatever) and complain about it on Twitter at the same time. — PolitiTweet.org

@JBFlint @JasonHirschhorn He was not saying it with awe. He was saying it the way a network exec might describe Netflix or Amazon programming circa 2015. — PolitiTweet.org

So if Extraction (Chris Hemsworth breaking dudes’ bones, shoving rakes into their eyeballs) isn’t fully your jam, fine. But Netflix would very much like a real blockbuster - something lots of people watch *and* love. Next up: The Rock and Ryan Reynolds and Gal Godot in 1 movie. — PolitiTweet.org

This is Hollywood for the 30 years before Marvel: Star you’ve heard of and concept you can understand = something you’d watch. But bar is way lower since you only have to click, not leave your house, park your car and pay $. — PolitiTweet.org

@RonWechsler His second point is that Netflix shows win awards and lots of people watch them. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Netflix insists that “people who watch 2 minutes of a show = people who watch a show” bc most people who watch 2 minutes do actually watch the whole thing. But obviously they could just as easily tell us how many people watched half a show, or 70%, or all of it. And they don’t. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Show and tell from Netflix’s Ted Sarandon, right after dismissing Apple’s Ted Lasso as an “awards-y show” that likely has a small audience: Netflix shows ranked by viewers and viewing hours. https://t.co/8ceTSHqr2c — PolitiTweet.org
