“Netflix effect” is back as studios license old shows to competitors again
New audiences for Suits and Ballers, but licensing costs may squeeze profits.

cool, man
keeps pirating
Honestly - streaming services are just a dud. Totally bait and switch these days .
Amazon is totally dead. Much of their content require further payment. Netflix is stuffed with foreign content.
They went soo hard with big budget series, but the net output doesn’t even match BBC, Despite the budget.
Maybe if you like movies ? But I’m a series guy.
Foreign content?
If anything, good series from all over the world is the one reason to keep Netflix.
Look at you, and your cultured appreciation of television.
I just like American cop shows. Based in San Francisco, between ‘73 and ‘80, featuring a maverick cop and his Hispanic partner, ideally with car chases.
You're being sarcastic, but I could go for a few more of those.
I only watch foreign cop shows where one of the detectives is a dog. And most of the time the dog solves the case.
I'm talking Kommissar Rex/Inspector Rex, Hudson & Rex. But I'll settle for K-9, K-911, K-9 PI, Scooby Doo, and Ace Ventura.
Anyone got any more crime solving animals TV shows?
Also: Inspector Gadget.
An international US, French, and Canadian production.
Penny (the "hacker" niece) and Brain (the intelligent dog) solve all of the cases that Inspector Gadget (cyborg cop) bumbles through, even though he's essentially RoboCop with gimmicks.
Not '96-2001?
That’s the Los Angeles era . Different animal.
Oh I see, Nash Bridges just isn't enough of a car-racing, hispanic sidekick having, San Fran cop for you.
I'm not even mad, I'm just disappointed.
But... but you need to read! And that's bad!

The movies seem to be all high budget, low effort drek. I love some food action movies. Doesn't need to be cerebral or fancy. But all their movies seem like what would have been straight to video back in the day. None would be movies if pay to see in the cinema.
It's a shame..at first it seemed like they were going to do lots of niche content. So many might not be for you, but lots of others might like them and there would be content for your niche too. Instead it's all lowest common denominator junk.
Right now Hulu is the only streaming a service I'm willing to pay for, mainly because they have all my favorite series and TV shows are a removed to pirate just because of the disk space
