But just when it seems like Netflix has been left in the dust of the revolution it started, it drops something like Squid Game, and ends up right back at the centre of the entertainment conversation.Įven factoring in its increasingly frequent fallow periods, Netflix has already created so many must-watch shows that most of us won’t ever get to half of it.
Of course, that innovation came back to bite them, as they now have to compete with everyone from Hulu to Disney+ to friggin’ FreeVee. Starting with House of Cards way back in 2013, the platform broke down the door for on-demand series to become their own form of prestige TV. Whatever you think of Netflix, there’s no denying the streamer has changed the game when it comes to original programming.
