          Amazed that its taken them this long to figure out that people don't want to watch that stuff. I can't bring myself to watch 95% of the series or movies that Netflix produces. I bought an HBOMAX subscription and have barely turned on Netflix for weeks.

                          I know they have woke shit on it too but there's a lot of other stuff and movies that HBO made in the past. We also get alot less movies on netflix then the US does due to licensing. I can usually turn on netflix, browse for 20 minutes and not find anything I'd be interested in watching.

                              HBO is my go to, pretty much everything is worth watching even if not my taste. The new CEO has already started slicing, too.

                              I got a whack of the new stock in the AT&T split so yes everyone please get HBO!

                                  Are you seriously labeling We Own This City as woke?

                                      I might have misunderstood. I haven't watched We Own This City, and I thought you were writing in the context of "HBO is full of woke shit too" and not as an actual recommendation. I understand now you meant that I should ACTUALLY watch it

                                          Huh?

                                          I guess it could be considered "woke" if you find topics like massive police corruption and police brutality against minorities "woke"

                                          It's based on a non-fiction novel and created by David Simon, who created The Wire.

                                              being woke is one thing, but midget black trans rights is another thing. It was just too much of this crap @ Netflix
                                              Like X-ART !!

                                                  Police corruption no, but if the entire focus of the show is on police brutality against minorities then yeah I would consider that to be woke. If that's part of it or it just happens in the show but the whole thing doesn't completely revolve around it, then no.

                                                      But police corruption and brutality often go hand in hand. That said, the show does deal directly with brutality, especially the Freddy Gray murder by Baltimore police, and civil rights activists in that city. However, I'd say the "focus" of the show is on the fucked system of law enforcement in the US. Sort of like The Wire, in a way.

                                                          The focus of the show is exposing a massively corrupt police department with a morally bankrupt unit leader that would harass anyone and steal anything he could to make an extra dollar because he thought he was God.

                                                                  You can be anti-woke and anti-corrupt fucks.

Only to be shielded by a corrupt police department. It was only unit leader who was corrupt, but the entire system.

AND it's a pain in the butt flipping through all of them to find something decent.

Netflix was in the right place at the right time; They were the first to make a serious attempt at online streaming. Now there are so many other companies.... HBO, Disney, Amazon Prime, Apple, IMDB, Peacock....

                                                                                              Sly said it best.... We are now to the point where we are needing a dozen different services...

                                                                                              I was paying for Hulu, Disney, HBO, and Netflix. I noticed I hadn't logged into HBO and Disney for the past three months so... I dropped them.

                                                                                              The music industry went through the same thing... You could only get certain artists on certain platforms. Now I use Amazon Music and I can stream anything. Eventually the entertainment industry will get here too.... People aren't going to be interested in paying to watch their favorite TV show on a specific platform. They might... I like "For All Mankind" on Apple and season three is coming out and... I'll wait until the season is done, buy in for a month, watch it, and that's it.

                                                                                                  One centralized service/platform that offered that as an easy to use package where you can upgrade and downgrade quickly, plus easily search all services for what you want, is likely where we are headed.

Sounds like a good way to alienate most of your customers.
