How does Netflix keep hitting home runs with original series?

Bloodline, House of Cards, Orange is the new black, Daredevil and even the light hearted comedies like Lilyhammer and the unbreakable Kimmy schmidt. These series blow most shows on cable TV out of the water. These shows aren't just so so, they are very, VERY good. My question is, where have these talented directors and writers been hiding and how come these shows never made it to cable?

It just blows my mind how Netflix can keep churning out amazing TV series after amazing TV series. Is it because writers and directors know that the netflix audience seem to be a bit more upper scale and intelligent and they have more freedom to really max out their artistic vision when making these series?

I have a different take.  They have a captive audience that they can build a nice hype machine through.  The series themselves are overrated because of the hype that they build.

 

I don't like Orange is the New Black and I'm not sure about daredevil yet. (only seen one episode)

It's about quality.  Netflix cares more about quality.  HBO has been doing this for years.   Network TV throws poop at the wall and hope it sticks.   Netflix also knows they are new to the original game and throwing a clunker out there could hurt their brand.  Granted,  Hemlock Grove is pretty terribad.

 

Don't forget about the partnerships to bring shows like The Fall, and other BBC stuff on there with partcially funding them.  They are also smart by saving shows with hardcore fan followings like The Killing and soon "Longmire".   They are just smart and like someone mentioned, can scan over data and see what people like.

 

It also helps that ratings aren't in the mix and they can easily see who is watching what (no Neilson BS or DVR readings, etc).

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
