OPINION ONLY:
Part of Netflix's problem is their method. These are serial shows that are released in binge fashion, which is stupid - bingeing compresses a show's pacing, which makes the 'fluffing' and filler in a show obvious (To me, Arrow was a great example of fluffing). It would be better for Netflix to always have five new serials releasing shows at any given time, release a new episode of one of the shows on Sunday through Thursday with a single starting commercial on release night only, and then allow people to binge already released shows as they want. They should use the commercial money to maintain the high-quality of the writing and production, because spending big on an opening season and then going cheap on followup seasons is the best way to kill a show. HBO and Showtime already learned that lesson, and Netflix shouldn't need to be told.
And Netflix should buy up the rights to Firefly.
I couldn't disagree more. For me, binging makes fluffing and filler episodes ALOT more watchable. You don't have to watch a shitty filler episode and then wait another week wondering if it's gonna be yet another one. How could you possibly think otherwise?
