I have an odd thought - Netflix is going about its new commissioning process all wrong. lokking at Netflix from the POV of "innovators dilemma" they are the low end upstart coming to steal the studio / broadcasters lunch
But having the broadcasters lunch on its lips it is now trying to copy the studios at their own game - creating high quality must watch content.
I think that's the wrong game.
One of my favourite discoveries on Netflix was "chaos on the bridge" where Shatner narrated a documentary on the first few years of Star Trek NG. It was fun, had almost zero cost apart from some talking heads and the researcher time.
A similar one on Atari, and the rise of Compaq all made me think that documentaries would be the new magazines - something for everyone's interest and dirt cheap to make - and with not much skill will eat up 50 mins of my time as easily as a GoT episode
Just wondering if they are not getting above themselves?
