It's one if not the best watched comedy in the USA like I say excellent in my opinion but each to their own.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
USA comedy is vastly different to UK comedy as we all know but as you say each to their own tastes.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
None as the comedies we enjoy in our family are the older ones and l think that says everything about modern UK comedy which in my opinion is utterly dreadful in comparison.

I didn't think Plebs was too bad?
We just don't do sitcoms like we used to.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
I'm also a big fan of Big Bang Theory. I personally think the dialogue was more geekier in the early seasons and the characters have changed a lot as you go through.
Don't let that stop you though, it's funny with the occasional average episode. they're only 20 mins so you can get through them quite quick

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Could this be the start of the big global operators giving Sky a run for their money? Looks like Sky Disney will not last for much longer unless it is going to concentrate on their older stuff.

Netflix has announced that from September it will be the exclusive US pay-TV home for all Disney, Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar movies released from 2016 onwards.
Meaning, it will be the only place to find movies such as Captain America: Civil War, The Jungle Book and the upcoming Star Wars sequels and the Rogue One spin-off prequel.
“The 2016 (Disney) releases will start rolling on in September and we’ll share specific dates/titles closer to their premiere on the service,” Netflix told Variety.
The deal was actually signed three years ago and is reported to have cost Netflix $400 million.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Netflix and Amazon must guarantee 20% of content is European in a shake-up of broadcasting rules.

Problem isn't solved
See my previous post in the thread, Netflix to raise prices, or reduce their current content.

The difference is between Netflix choosing to ad 20% of EU content and being forced to add it.
Netflix have got detailed analysis of what UK viewers like. If they're forced to use some of their acquisitions budget to provide 20% EU content, then there is less money to spend on the content UK viewers like. To provide the same amount of UK desired content plus 20% EU content, Netflix would have to raise their prices.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
TV and films are becoming more global. Through co-funding between companies of different countries to using actors and production staff from different countries. There doesn't need to be rules. The only reason the EU wants rules is because most European tv is so bad.
Spanish tv is two things bulls and football. French tv, shagging and political discussion (not at the same time, unfortunately), Italian tv: Game shows and football etc
This is the standard the EU wants.... I'll stick to shows like House of Cards, thank you very much.

The regulations being mooted mirror existing ones for broadcast TV.
Also, put your pitchfork down. Unless if the UK leaves the EU, there is already enough EU content on Netflix in Europe thanks to UK content so nothing will change.
Of course, if we leave the EU, the UK wont be subject to this regulation any longer (For broadcast TV and On Demand services if this becomes adopted), but we will lose access to the roaming rights that the EU want us to have too.
