So pretty much just like everything else Prime churns out.

The English is really good. Chaske Spencer nailed it.

It was a joint production between the BBC and Amazon. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_English_(TV_series)

Yep…with BBC undoubtedly the lead in both funding and influence.

There is no evidence to support that claim.

Variety seem to think differently. They have Amazon taking international rights to a “BBC show”.

Amazon Studios is listed as a producer, not just a distributor. I don't know why you're so desperate to pretend that Amazon had limited involvement, but you're flat out wrong.

No it isn't. That show was a disjointed dull mess.

Calling it "dull" was a mistake because it tells everyone who did watch it that you never did, which is a really weird thing for you to lie about.

Netflix churns out a lot of good content, even if it is just by law of averages.

A couple of years ago I would have said the same thing, but I just looked at Netflix's output for March and there's not a single TV show that interests me, out of the 30 or so. The only reason I'm keeping it is because I'm sharing the account with family, but once that's gone, I'm out as well.

Hold on, are you telling me that I'm out of touch with young people? That can't be true! Just yesterday I was listening to Nirvana and watching The Simpsons!
