    A couple of recent Netflix docu-series I liked are Evil Genius and Wild Wild Country.

    Pretty much. Putin’s invasion as well. I’m also reminded of Netflix’s murder documentary, Evil Genius. This show covered the pizza bomber and made an effort to suggest the perpetrator’s were very intelligent. But they were clearly mentally I’ll and made many pathetically dumb blunders, including proactively telling the police that they weren’t behind the pizza bomber when they had no reason to be associated with it in the first place.

    Are you saying Netflix hasn’t made quality shows that will last through 2039? I’d like to know which company you think has made close to the amount of quality shows Netflix has since 2014. Here’s part of a list I have for a content project. No company comes close to this output in recent history.

    House of Cards launched February 2013 (7 seasons, finished)

    Orange is the New Black launched July 2013 (7 seasons, finished)

    Stranger Things launched July 2016 (3 seasons, 1-2 more)

    Dark (2 seasons, 3rd is last)

    Glitch (2 seasons, 3rd might never come)

    Russian Doll (1 season)

    Haunting of Hill House (1 season, anthology)

    American Vandal (2 seasons)

    Black Mirror (anthology, last season not that good)

    The Crown (3 seasons)

    When They See Us (mini-series, 2019)

    Unbelievable (just came out)

    Mindhunter (2 seasons)

    Maniac (mini-series)

    There’s more I’m missing and I didn’t include a number of shows Netflix helps finance but isn’t the main financier or producer or original place of distribution. Shows like Glitch.
