Luck was a huge part of the Netflix story.
‘Prison Break’ on Netflix has generated a whole new generation of viewers.
I just try to be the same kid from New York and Greenwich, Connecticut, who is just lame and watches TV and Netflix.
Netflix and Hulu are just extensions of television that live on the Web.
For every Netflix, there’s a Blockbuster. Every Facebook, a MySpace.
It’s kind of low brow, but the show ‘Bob’s Burgers’ is hilarious, and being from the Midwest, I can kind of relate to a lot of the jokes. ‘Orange is The New Black’ is a Netflix Exclusive, I think – that’s really funny.
I really want to expand with movies and I would love to land on a TV show, like a Netflix original series, that would be fantastic.
Eighty-two million households is what Netflix put out watched ‘Bridgerton.’ And I cannot hold 82 million in my head, because that doesn’t fit. It’s too big.
The idea of a streaming service, like Netflix for music, I’m not totally against it. It’s just we won’t put all of our music on it until there are enough subscribers for it to make sense.
Let’s be honest, Netflix has stepped up its game up. It seems to have a lot more of an assortment of stuff.
There is a revolution happening, and within two years I think that Wi-Fi and Netflix will be built into all the televisions.
I always said I just wanted to be an artist that made like $500 a week from music and anything on top would be a bonus, so everything that’s happened to me now is unreal. Like, I really can’t believe it. It’s like when you watch a Netflix show and the main character becomes a superhero; I feel like I became a superhero.
A lot of people refer to me as somebody that they know. I think that kind of energy resonates with the programs on Netflix.
Look, part of it is that those credits have a list of names of people who work so hard on the show. They do amazing visionary work on ‘Dragon Prince’. And Netflix lets you skip those credits so easily. We wanted to give people a reason to enjoy the credits.
The people at Netflix are extremely intelligent about the way they monitor activity on their platform.
Netflix has such a knack for giving a new life to those B-movies that you thought and hoped no one would ever see. Especially when you have a new project coming out and they’re looking to mine some of your lesser-known films.
When we billed the project to Netflix, we had this big two-and-a-half-minute trailer that had about 20 or 30 of these movies kind of woven together to try and tell the story of ‘Stranger Things,’ but obviously all these images or ideas were in our heads.
Streaming TV shows, movies, and other types of video over the Internet to all manner of devices, once a fringe habit, is now a squarely mainstream practice. Even people still paying for cable or satellite service often also have Netflix or Hulu accounts.
It’s so amazing that you can give somebody like David Fincher ‘House of Cards,’ and he can do whatever he wants – Netflix doesn’t say, ‘Oh, you can’t do that,’ or, ‘We need a subplot here about this.’ It’s pretty neat that it is allowing the creatives to be creative.
