Netflix

Made films the shows talk about.

No film of theirs is counted: acting and studio count only when asked for, so what they drew on and who drew on them comes only from the lines with them at one end. Count them as studio (32 films) instead.

Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

David Fincher: 1 line

  1. craft (house style) · them, directly: David Fincher ⇒ Netflix (the host's read). The speaker says Netflix shows now look like a watered-down Fincher because he established the look of Netflix.
    “we're kind of living in a world where everything is forced to look like a bad Fincher project because he established the look of Netflix.”

industry (2)

  1. industry (industry): Roma → Netflix. Only Netflix would give Cuaron the budget for a black-and-white film about his hometown and keep it in theaters.
