Netflix is the king of streaming or even content now. I have seen it grow from a big company into an even bigger company that now seems to have Hollywood as a vassal state which would have been seen unthinkable in the 2000s. Netflix was profitable in the 2000s and was causing huge amounts of chaos at Blockbuster but it was still in that niche of being a rental place, not a studio making its own stories.
Fast forward to now, Netflix would be home to Douglas Fairbanks had it been a studio in the Silent Era before the release of the Jazz Singer.
Netflix rules filmed content in a similar way to the big studios from the 1920s to the 1950s. They were incredibly powerful institutions, nations within America with their own culture and hiearchies. They brought the faces of amazing actors to the screens.
What is Netflix great goal here?
Netflix is not Hollywood, at least in the sense of how we once understood it. Netflix is a fusion of both Television and Cinema. It is the true HBO in the sense of that label the old Cable TV channel uses. The Home Box Office is what Netflix truly is now. It is more of a box office than HBO was in the early 1980s.
However, can it truly live up to such a title?
Netflix is making show after show about young people in pods who date someone on the other side of that pod without even seeing them. This is the Love is Blind series. Its based on the axiom: Love is Blind. This axiom governs the show’s production. It is an interesting premise for sure, ignoring the Bachelor or Bachelorette shows, which have tons of in-person drama between the characters. Love is Blind does not have any of that here. It is about romance behind a hidden screen.
However, they are making equivalent shows for many other nations. Even Italy is getting a show now.
Netflix has been making more reality tv shows than ever before?
Why?
The simple reason: Cost.
Netflix was making alot of content in the years before the pandemic. However, in this age?
Netflix is basically becoming basic television again.
