But of course they're blaming everything but their own incompetence.

I agree, at some point they went for quantity over quality but I think that's party because of the model; if they just have a handful of high-quality, high-budget shows... people could sign up for a couple of months a year (say December and July) and binge all the good content for a fraction of the cost. They're trying to keep people subbed long-term as that's where the money is.

I know a lot of people (students etc.) cycle through subs in this way; they get Netflix for a month and ninge the shows they want to see, cancel and get Disney+ and binge all the new Marvel stuff etc, cancel and get Prime ... etc. and then repeat again a few months later.

I disagree on The Witcher S2 though, I really enjoyed it and in fact preferred it to S1 in many ways.

I also disagree that "13 Reasons Why" is an example of quality, utter pish . Cobra Kai is all the teen drama I need . Probably by merit of being over the top/funny/self-aware.
