Just last year they released Widows, The Predator, Deadpool 2, Bad Times at the El Royale, and Red Sparrow. All of them rated R, Red Sparrows featuring all kinds of rape, full frontal nudity, and hardcore violence.

What do you mean by premium?
Because they do have a good number of high rated content with big production values.Phillyrider807

Article is the dumbest shyt i ever read. Yes Disney+ will be huge but it won't overtake Netflix. It can't for the simple fact Netflix offers media that Disney doesn't. You not gonna find anything in the 19-48 range on disney+. And yes Disney has Hulu as well but Netflix original programming>Hulu original programming.
Disney is here to stay and they will do their numbers. But netflix isn't going anywhere.
Not to mention the original content Disney+ is promising are still far off.

Doesn't seem like any of their stuff is as good as the other networks. And thats what Netflix has become, just another network. I feel like right now netflix's actual veiwable original content is more comparable to that of AMC. You got like one hit show a few decent other shows a bunch of made for tv movies and the rest is just meh.What do you mean by premium?
In Fact AMC still had more original hit shows , with Walking Dead, Mad Men and Breaking Bad.

i don't see why people keep acting like disney is the death of netflix, there are a lot of people without kids in the home or who don't give AF about marvel/star wars...so what are they offering to people who want adult content that would make people drop netflix? i dont see parents dropping netflix either just because they need disney for the kids. and depending on what content remains on hulu, that's the service that might get hit harder by this disney move.

Exactly. Disney is just making it that u have to have their service. Not that they can just replace what u currently have,

What premium content does disney have outside its franchise movies? Disney will be a must have for people with kids (even tho most kids are fukking with random content on youtube
) otherwise, yall are overstating how many people really care about marvel/star wars where having all of it for endless re-watches is a must-have.All of these services breaking apart will either lead to unprofitable ventures where people have to consolidate or a rebound in cable subscriptions
netflix has a lot of niche content, i felt the same, but just in this forum you can see a million threads posts about random shows people have discovered on netflix that they're into. plus all the stand up comedies, documentaries and foreign stuff, netflix has more than enough to keep people engaged.
it does need a couple of breakout shows tho, House of Cards and OITNB were the two originals that put Netflix on the map for original content, since they've ended or will be ending (and fell off in popularity) flix has only had Narcos and Stranger Things that have seemed to connect across a wide swath of watchers.
But honestly, no network has a blockbuster show anymore - TWD and GOT were the last ones, GOT is done, Westworld has not been successful in taking its place and TWD lost a lot of viewers over the past 3 seasons that they won't get back, no matter how much better people say the last season was. GOT very likely wrapped up that era

It just looks like that because you're not paying attention. AMC doing better? Lol
The Crown
GLOW
Black Mirror
Stranger Things
Kingdom
Russian Doll
Dark
Mindhunter
The Last Kingdom S3
Bojack Horseman
Peaky Blinders
All big budget, quality, on going and popular shows on Netflix. That's just off top of my head, I could list more. They are doing much better than AMC in variety and quality right now. What new shyt AMC got in the pipes? TWD became ass to me a long time ago. Preacher about to end and they canceled Into The Badlands the only show I was watching from them. Come on, breh...

People are really overstating how "big" these tv shows are. GoT "was" the only current show to reach to reach icon status and very well might be the last one ever just due to the change in how we watch tv.
Why are people acting like ANY current show is ANYWHERE near the status that GoT was?

I am not bushing netflix over disney just cuz of a few franchises.
This article jumps to a TON of conclusions, but it gets a couple of basic details right.
Disney alone isn't the problem for Netflix. The problem is that now, ALL the heavy hitters are talking about having their own streaming service out there. WarnerMedia has already let all other services know that when their service launches, either their content becomes exclusive, or these other platforms need to prepare to deal with delayed availability or increased fees. That becomes part of another problem, but I'll get to that.
The talk of Disney launching blockbuster releases day and date on + alongside theatrical is absolutely fukking absurd. The minute they do that, major chains like AMC and Harkins are at their neck to renegotiate what they're paying to run their films. It would be a textbook instance of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
But ultimately, Netflix's problem is that only their original content will be what truly drives subscriptions. They've known this for a long while, and have been attempting to prepare by buying rights to everything they can, and working those purchases into their suggestions. The cost of investing in content and paying to keep their catalog of third party shows and whatnot is what's been driving cost up (I'm looking at what I'm paying for the 4k capable plan, and it's nuts). Ultimately, Netflix will be ok, but to survive long term, they'll need to take a look at actually lowering prices if their catalog ends up losing a lot of the big name old content that drove costs up. Otherwise, it's a matter of time before the wave of people discovering that they don't actually like Netflix's content becomes a problem.
That, or they get themselves acquired by AT&T or Disney. Actually, that's probably the most likely conclusion

They wanted to make many of those pg13. If the actors and directors didn't fight for the r rating.

This, I looked at Disney+'s line-up and still wondering how they're suppose to bury Netflix anytime soon. The first Marvel show doesn't drop until sometime in Spring/Summer 2020, the only original shows they'll have out by the launch will be High School Musical & The Mandalorian. They don't even have all the streaming rights to all the MCU movies so some will be missing. Disney+ seems to me more of a family friendly service, if you don't have kids then there's really no point of copping it imo.
Netflix has a ton of original programming that gets positive media and fan attention: Netflix Originals | Netflix Official Site
Not sure where this idea that there is nothing on Netflix came from.
