Everything on Netflix now looks like it was created by AI
Its kinda always felt like it (at least to me). It was like they did the same thing people do when playing with chatgpt but just with a person. Like the Netflix suits just tell a writer we need this type of person, a gun fight and a twist ending, ok go! and then just took the writers first draft.
This is my beef with Apple TV+ content. It all seems designed to sell adjacent products and maintain whatever market share they have. I would imagine this is true for every streaming brand but it's hard for me to miss in Apple's content.
I don’t understand that at all. How is that the case in Silo, Foundation, Slow Horses, Physical, Severance or any number of shows? I don’t see shows inundated with Apple products anymore than our actual reality is.
Amazon on the other hand uses X-ray to show you how you can buy the clothes Priyanka Chopra is wearing on Citadel, etc but it’s hardly obtrusive if you don’t know how to access it.
(Also I haven’t dealt with Netflix personally, but NO ONE any where in the industry takes someone’s first draft. Shows get watered down because there are so many goddamn notes from every which way. I don’t want to say that your dismissive view on what writers contribute is part of the reason we’re striking, but I’ll think it pretty damn hard hah)
