Thought this was an interesting read in regards to Netflix and how they fit into the media world in general. While I like the idea of competition between the big media companies fueling better shows, movies and media in general, it is rather obvious that the big guys like CBC, NBC, Sony, etc are stuck in the stone age trying to play catch up to Netflix.
Interesting point being made by people who have worked with Netflix that creatively they have a lot more freedom. Personally I haven't really watched any Netflix shows outside of House of Cards that I really like, but it is obvious that their business model is far superior to most other media companies. At this point despite the fact that HBO is making superior shows, how long will they be able to compete with Netflix when Netflix is spending $6 billion per year on content while HBO can't get Game of Thrones made without delaying for months on end?
