Why is it # 2 and not # 1? Prime has more selection than Netflix.
Netflix drops more new releases worth watching IMO

I would recommend
1. After Life -- because it's about love, losses and survival after losses that bring you to an edge of self-destruction
Watch the show called "Eureka."
The first season of After Life is pretty damn funny. Season 2 however has been a total letdown. The writing isn't as good and the comedy has all but disappeared. Gervais also ventures into some really disgusting territory which turned me off.
I wish I was the writer for this show. The parents with the kid who looks like Hitler could've been comedy gold. So much to do with that story but it fell short. He really needs to hire a writing staff instead of doing it all himself.
Most of the movies or series on there are promoting degeneracy or the New World Order. Your choices are dark and depressing, oppression from Big Brother, promotion of a gay agenda, or dumb comedies for the dumbest of our society. Try to find an older movie on there before the year 2000. They are few and far between. You can't tell me that people don't want to see Academy Award winners or indie favorites of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. So I can only guess that this is part of their sick plan to pretend that Heritage America never existed. Or maybe there's just too many white people in those old movies...
They can't license any decent movies because they can't get the rights. Netflix streaming originally blew up because the media companies that licensed them content on the cheap didn't realize they were feeding the beast that would devour them. They just thought it was going to be some niche ancillary revenue stream. Notice on Amazon and other platforms, good movies still have to rented or bought individually. That's why a majority of their content is originals now. Netflix was more interesting in the early 2010s, when it was mostly a repository to monetize random/forgotten content. I assume that's part of the reason there were so many interesting documentaries on the platform, as there isn't much opportunity to monetize that type of content. Some on this forum may even be too young to remember, but it wasn't that long ago that Netflix, and streaming services in general were considered a low rent distribution platform below even Red Box and basic cable.I'm ready to drop Netflix.

You can rent/buy individual movies to stream on many platforms, Amazon being the most prominent. Now there's of course an argument that there isn't enough people willing to pay to stream a movie to bother throttling its distribution this way, but I think the studios want to protect their assets and not go the music route, where consumers are almost completely trained to not pay for any individual song or album. Once you start licensing your content wholesale on the cheap, consumers become entitled and lazy, and don't expect to pay for a premium product. Streaming deals are pocket change compared to what these studios and media companies used to make off physical media sales, and they don't want to become slaves to the whims of Netflix.How else would these studios make money on home video if they didn't lease(?) the rights to companies like Netflix, especially for older movies? In the past it was Blockbuster Video who they made money off in this area. So what's the difference now that Netflix has taken over the role of the video stores in the 80s and 90s?

I first heard of Netflix in 2004. Netflix would actually send you a movie DVD in the mail. You watch it, then return it to Netflix. This part of Netflix actually still exists if you can believe that.How else would these studios make money on home video if they didn't lease(?) the rights to companies like Netflix, especially for older movies?
