The people on Reddit who think Netflix is "dying" strike out yet again. I may not watch Netflix nearly as much anymore and am on the verge of cancelling it anyway, but Redditors need to understand it is far too big to die in the streaming era

Netflix is pretty much the only service actually making money for now.

No reason to think they will die.

Netflix' biggest rivals own publishing companies and TV news networks, so "news" that say how "Netflix is dying" is always kept alive and most people just readily repeat what they see/hear without thinking.

To be fair, IMO this is one of their better original series in some time—or at least of the shows geared toward a wide audience.

I had finally crossed off the last thing on my list of Netflix exclusives (the Luther movie) that I needed to watch before I would cancel my 10+ year subscription. Then I stumbled onto the RT review of Night Agent and decided to give it a shot. Loved it.

I still think all of the bad things about Netflix that I did before watching it—the things that the "Netflix is dying" crowd tend to parrot. But if I could get even just one property a month that I thought was as well-made as Night Agent, I would probably stick around.

I'm very close to having everything crossed off personally. This show doesnt seem my cup of tea so I'm prob not gonna watch it. I just have Unbelievable and Midnight Mass remaining
