Maybe this is a more tech talk question - but I have noticed in the last few days on my AppleTV that Netflix will suddenly stop (no pausing or reducing the resolution to SD) and show the "cannot load this content at this time" error. If I back out, I can normally resume watching where I left off. Seems a bit strange. I haven't had any other issues with the AppleTV with Youtube or anything.

That’s happened to us, too. On a smart tv, not Apple TV.

Anyone watching Titans? I am a few episodes in and I like it. I am easily entertained though...

I feel like Netflix is unable to make anything other than dark and brooding comic book shows.

I've gone from thinking "You" was ok to its absolute crap.

My wife is almost done the season and I had to stop watching.
Turned into exactly the type of teenager show I was hoping it would outperform.

I'm guessing fans of shows like Riverdale and 13 Reasons Why will enjoy it; not my cup of tea.

Netflix is winning the streaming wars by burning staggering amounts of cash.
Netflix (NFLX) burned through $3 billion in 2018. Negative free cash flow accelerated to $1.3 billion in the fourth quarter, more than double the year before.

Netflix signaled optimism on the cash burn front. While negative free cash flow will be "similar" this year to 2018, Netflix expects it to "improve each year thereafter" due to improving margins. Future investment will be funded more "internally," Netflix said.

Moody's agrees. Moody's senior vice president Neil Begley expects Netflix to break even on cash flows by about 2023.

UBS analyst Eric Sheridan said Netflix's latest results show the company has built a "widening moat" by building momentum on customer growth and finding blockbuster content success. He raised his price target on Netflix to $420, which is about 22% above current levels

So "Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened" came out this week, a documentary chronicling the lead up and aftermath of the Fyre Festival that crashed and burned in 2017.

It's a wild ride and incredibly well paced. Very entertaining story, would recommend.

Fyre was great. Fascinating.

Whole soundtrack was various Trent Reznor soundtrack stuff from previous scores he’s done plus some NIN instrumental material. Worked well.

What's On Netflix as a spot for it. Don't know if it's the best but it's complete.

Just watch has a 4K filter. Not sure how thorough it is.

I have watched the first couple episodes, and my feeling is "Oh, look...DC took the dark, dreary, boring and blah' feeling from their movies, and applied it into a TV series. Go DC..."

The only bright spot so far was the 20 seconds of Beast Boy.

It’s an interesting show. A lot going on within a small group of characters, and it is difficult to step back and look at anyone as really likeable.

I watched season 2, got through it in a few days, and it was on par with season 1. We were discussing how many more seasons you could squeeze out of the group and premise though.

* It’s kind of amusing the critical response to season 1 and how surprised the writers were.

Married writers Nick Stoller and Francesca Delbanco were inspired by their own group of pals from Harvard to create the Netflix comedy “Friends From College.” But they weren’t prepared for the sting of the show’s bad reviews.

“People were saying, ‘these characters are just so horrible, hanging out with them is like crawling over broken glass,'” Delbanco said. “It made us look in the mirror and think, ‘oh God, is that what the world thinks of us?'”
