There are so many entertainment options – Netflix, Amazon, Hulu – and especially for younger people, who are Internet-savvy and video game fans.
I think the networks, in general, have to evaluate what’s happening around them. I’m sure they’re scared about a lot of things: Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, and all these places that allow people to watch shows in chunks.
I try to, like, hang out with my family as much as possible. Hang out with the band, go hiking when I’m in the mood for that. Watch Netflix. It’s really important for me; like, health comes before everything else.
‘Parks and Rec’ is definitely a mainstream show – the group that watches it on TV on Thursday night is small, but the audience that watches it on things like Hulu, Netflix, and Tivo is enormous.
‘Black Mirror,’ now being on Netflix, can reach all kinds of different people all over the world – with the help of the Internet, rather ironically.
Particularly with Netflix, there are some series you just binge-watch. But I think with ‘Black Mirror,’ it’s a joy to have some space between each one.
You watch ‘Malcolm X,’ and then Netflix recommends ‘B.A.P.S.,’ and you’re like, ‘What? Those movies have absolutely nothing to do with each other, but OK.’ They don’t recommend other historical biopics – it’s ‘B.A.P.S.’ and ‘Ghost Dad.’
I watch every horror film that comes out in theatres. I watch every horror film that’s on Netflix.
I’m not one of those people who only believe in the Netflix model. I go see films in the theater and love that experience and don’t want it to ever die. But I like that Netflix exists, and you can discover so many different types of movies and TV and content you wouldn’t have access to.
I don’t watch a lot of T.V. I only watch things via Netflix, so I only watch the things that I’m choosing to watch.
Netflix isn’t available internationally all the time, but the NBA is. It’s nice to have something that feels like home.
Back in the early days at Netflix, it wasn’t unheard of for me to tell prospective hires that I could see our stock going to a hundred dollars someday.
Wrestling is about connecting with the audience. Giving them a reason to care. Same reason I binge watch series on Netflix, because the stories and characters get me invested.
People just don’t sit down and watch shows live anymore. They DVR it. They stream it; they watch it on Netflix or iTunes.
Because ‘Friends’ is on Netflix, there’s a renewed interest from that… People can call me ‘Ben’ on the street, and I will turn around.
Some of my fondest memories of the early years of Netflix have to do with our efforts to figure out the most efficient, effective, and fast methods to get DVDs to people all over the country.
We recognize that the whole world is kind of moving in this direction to digital distribution, but at the same time, there are still people who only watch movies in a movie theater, and there are some people who only watch certain programs on television or certain things on Netflix.
The real great news is, in the piracy capitals of the world, Netflix is winning. We are pushing down piracy in those markets by getting the access.
There was one time I flagged every ‘Brokeback Mountain’ review on Netflix that was negative. I was, like, ‘not helpful,’ and I spent, like, an hour doing it, and I wrote a really serious review about it. It’s hard for me not to get really sensitive. I don’t brush things off like that very easily.
I would like to have a filmography of the late Lee Je-hoon’ list on Netflix or to have a DVD collection of my works. It would be a great honor.
I am someone who goes and sees movies in theaters, but I also watch Netflix.
I am glad that ‘Lust Stories’ is coming on Netflix as opposed to the kind of commercial release it was going to get.
I’ve personally unsubscribed from Netflix twice because I’ve been frustrated with changes in their catalog.
I am excited to be a part of Netflix’s ‘Maska.’ We have a stupendous powerhouse of talent.
The reason Netflix chose to use AWS is because they knew they’d be treated as every bit as important a customer as Amazon the retailer is.
In the years after I left Netflix, the company I co-founded, I didn’t want to puff myself up or tear anyone else down.
I love a good Netflix binge!
Netflix is in every country except China and North Korea.
People imagine that Netflix sprang fully formed into a global streaming giant, but Netflix might have been personalised sporting goods – or customised shampoo – or even pet food, since these were all ideas that I pitched Reed Hastings in those first months.
I love every Netflix original series, because they’re so creative and different, and they really believe in trusting the creators of these shows and in their vision and passion.
Typically on a TV series, the writers on a show are writing for their life almost every episode. When someone sits down to write a Netflix show, they know there’s going to be a 13th hour.
I missed the television train at some point. I don’t know what happened, but now I’ve created a complex about it. I’m missing out on what everybody’s watching, and now I can’t even begin to think about starting to watch a television show because it’s been so long. I don’t even have a Netflix account.
We have a very wide range of content, but the brand-newest movies, what’s happening with those is a $30 pay-per-view option – not from Netflix but from DirecTV and others – of movies that are in the theater.
Getting upset about Netflix, to me, is like getting upset about the weather. It’s just something that’s happening, and we have to decide what we feel about it.
I would love to do a love story or a socially relevant drama. Something on the lines of Netflix originals. I would love to explore the big screen, too.
I’m sometimes skeptical about Netflix – for no reason that I can put my finger on – but when you stumble upon a series and it delights you for ten nights in a row, that’s a good feeling for a week and a half and a bit.
Honey, I conquered Netflix. I watched ’em all.
Netflix sees people as users or subscribers or customers. Historically, networks have seen people as viewers.
I fall asleep to a movie every night! I don’t have a go-to movie, but I like Netflix or whatever I can find. Usually, it’s just noise in the background; I think it’s damage from living in New York, where it’s so noisy.
Netflix, despite the fact that they compete very aggressively with Prime Video on the Amazon side, they run everything on top of AWS and have for several years – same with Disney, Warner, Fox, HBO and Turner, they all run on AWS.
I have more faith in doing something creative for a cable station or something like Yahoo or Google or Amazon. What Netflix did with ‘House of Cards’ and David Fincher was brilliant. That is inspiring to me. I think there is more chance for creativity in animation, it just hasn’t happened there yet.
A lot of people that I work with now call me Netflix’s poster boy and that makes me so happy as who doesn’t want to be.
With the blessing of social media and platforms like Amazon Prime and Netflix, you get this broad audience that I don’t think we knew about when we were kids.
Being Latino in this market, in the past 20 years, I hadn’t gone out for the white dude next door, but Netflix had that vision. Netflix is changing all of that, not only in the production aspect, but they’re trying to include everybody.
With Netflix, we accept the democracy: not every show needs to be watched by everyone. And let’s face it, we don’t have time to watch everything. When will I sleep? I used to read and wash my hair. If TV gets any better, I’ll have to give up work.
I watched the entire ‘House of Cards.’ I couldn’t stop watching it. I was staying up until 4 o’clock in the morning. I just couldn’t stop… I’m crazy about Netflix. I’m excited that the world we live in is changing so much.
It turns out that all Netflix streaming peak on Saturday night can fit inside a single fiber optic, which is the size of one human hair.
I think theatre must be an event, an experience, not compete with cinema. When people are able to download stories on Netflix, you need to give them a good reason to jump into the car and drive two hours. It has to be something you can only see in the theatre, and it has to be worth it.
I wanted to use my story of starting Netflix – the whole thing, warts and all – to show how a dream could make it from the inside of one’s head out into the real world.
I think there’s a time and place to watch an independent film, or catch up on a French action film on your laptop, or Netflix it, or download it, or watch it on-demand. But I think we also have to maintain the sacredness of the movie theatre as church – especially with event screenings.
I watched a documentary called ‘Plastic Oceans’ on Netflix, and it was an eye-opener for me.
I don’t watch much TV at all, but I did like ‘Narcos’ on Netflix a lot.
One of the things I like best about Netflix is that they make projects like ‘Beasts of No Nation.’ It’s a film about a reality in an African country where kids were being used to be soldiers in a war. And it made so much sense to me as a citizen of the world.
The thing with Netflix is everyone who reads this article can go to Netflix, watch ‘Live in Oakland’ and come to D.C. and see me do a different show. It’s a constant source of people getting to know me.
